Addressing the issue of Opposition parties engaging in intra-state conflicts, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge emphasized that the differences between them are not insurmountable. He stated that these differences are not ideological and that they are not significant enough to prevent them from coming together for the welfare of the common people, middle class, youth, poor, Dalits, Adivasis, and minorities, whose rights are being quietly oppressed.
The first meeting of the United Opposition took place on June 23. One notable difference between the first and second meetings was the presence of Sonia Gandhi. Her participation is perceived as an effort to restore the Congress, the largest Opposition party in the Lok Sabha, to a prominent position within the united Opposition. However, the Congress has clarified that it is not driven by a desire for power or the position of Prime Minister.
In the upcoming elections, the united Opposition intends to field one candidate per seat against the BJP. Discussions regarding a seat-sharing arrangement are expected to occur during the meeting. However, it was previously decided that individual seats and candidates would be determined at the state level, as agreed upon by the parties in the earlier meeting.
