A mega meeting of key Opposition parties is all set to take place tomorrow, June 23, in Bihar’s capital city Patna. The meeting will focus on the groundwork for the coming together of like-minded Opposition parties against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP government at the Centre.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has been spearheading efforts to bring all Opposition parties together against the BJP government at the Centre, with an eye on the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
Ahead of the crucial meeting tomorrow, Bihar Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav said, “There are many leaders who’re much more experienced than Prime Minister Narendra Modi and everybody will put forward their opinion in the meeting.”
“Nobody can deny the fact that there are so many leaders in opposition who’re much more experienced than PM Modi. Everybody will put forward their opinion in the meeting,” Tejashwi Yadav told ANI.
On Wednesday, the minister said that the Lok Sabha elections next year will be fought on issues of the people, not in the name of PM Modi.
“Everyone is clear that the meeting (on Friday) will set the tone for a change at the hustings in the days ahead. A change is the need of the hour as people’s issues need to be brought to the fore. The next general elections should be fought on issues affecting the people,” he added.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will convene a meeting of top Opposition leaders as part of his continued efforts to forge a grand alliance against PM Modi and the BJP-led government at the Centre with an eye on the next general elections.
Several prominent opposition leaders including Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi and TMC chief Mamata Banerjee will attend the opposition meeting, to be convened by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
