Not Shimla. Next Opposition meet in Bengaluru on July 13-14, says Sharad Pawar

Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar on Thursday announced that the next opposition meeting will be held in Bengaluru on July 13 and 14. He said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has become restless after the Patna meet. Pawar was referring to the June 23 huddle which leaders from over 15 opposition parties had attended in the Bihar capital.

At the Patna meet, 17 parties including the Congress resolved to fight the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in a united manner to defeat the BJP at the Centre and work with flexibility by setting aside their differences.

They decided on Shimla as the venue for the second meet to chalk out a joint strategy. However, they have decided to meet in Bengaluru instead on July 13 and 14.

“After Patna, the next meeting of Opposition parties will take place in Bengaluru on July 13 and 14,” Pawar said. A plan of action is expected to be formulated at the second meeting to be chaired by Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge.
