Synopsis

In a strategic move aimed at securing victory in the highly anticipated 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the Congress party is intensifying its efforts to counter the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). With a clear objective of expanding the reach of the opposition alliance, the Congress is leaving absolutely no stone unturned in its preparations. The Opposition's second unity meeting will be held in Bengaluru on July 17-18.

In a major move, the heads of 24 non-BJP parties have received invitations to a crucial meeting, which is expected to witness the attendance of all these prominent leaders.

All India Congress Committee (AICC) chief Mallikarjuna Kharge, along with prominent Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, are set to attend this meeting. Karnataka's Deputy Chief Minister and Congress leader, DK Shivakumar, confirmed their participation in the upcoming gathering. This gathering holds immense importance as it brings together key figures within the Congress party, signalling a unified front in their approach to the relevant topics.

In a key conference, the possibility of presenting a unified candidate to challenge the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will be deliberated among the 24 opposition parties that currently hold a combined total of 150 seats in the Lok Sabha. On June 23, the first unity meeting took place at Patna.
