Joint Opposition meeting on June 12
The major Opposition parties are scheduled to meet in Patna on June 12. This is likely to be the first meeting to create a joint Opposition strategy to take on Narendra Modi’s BJP in 2024.
June 12 is the much-awaited date when major Opposition leaders are scheduled to meet in Patna. This will be the first joint Opposition meeting on this scale before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Patna has been chosen as the meeting is the brainchild of JD(U) president and Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar and RJD leader and deputy chief minister Tejaswi Yadav who, in recent days, have been touring the country to meet various BJP-opposed chief ministers and leaders in an effort to create a grand alliance.
The meeting is meant to start the chalking out of a joint Opposition strategy to take on Narendra Modi’s BJP-led NDA coalition.
The meeting, in all likelihood, would take place at Gyan Bhawan. Leaders familiar with the development said that more than 18 like-minded Opposition parties will attend the conclave.
Most of the parties who would participate in the meeting have already come together as part of the boycotting of the inauguration of the new Parliament in protest against Narendra Modi’s not allowing President Droupadi Murmu, the First Citizen of the country, to inaugurate it and doing it himself instead, which has been deemed to be an insult to the highest office in the country.
