Next Opposition party meeting to be held in Bengaluru on July 17 and 18

The next meeting of opposition parties will be held in Bengaluru on July 17 and 18, the Congress announced on Monday, and said that their pledge to defeat the BJP has been strengthened by the Mumbai operations of the BJP washing machine.

Congress general secretary (organisation) K C Venugopal announced the Opposition meeting dates on Twitter and said “We are steadfast in our unwavering resolve to defeat the fascist and undemocratic forces.”

“After a hugely successful all-opposition meeting in Patna, we will be holding the next meeting in Bengaluru on 17 and 18 July, 2023. We are steadfast in our unwavering resolve to defeat the fascist and undemocratic forces and present a bold vision to take the country forward,” Venugopal said.

Jairam Ramesh, the general secretary for communications of the Congress, lashed fun at the BJP for appointing Ajit Pawar and eight other NCP politicians to the Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra administration.

Earlier, Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar had said the next opposition meet will be held in Bengaluru on July 13-14. Those dates were said to be clashing with the Assembly sessions in a few states. The first meeting of opposition parties was held in Bihar’s Patna on June 23.
