GG News Bureau

New Delhi, 3rd July. The Congress announced on Monday that the next opposition party meeting will be held in Bengaluru on July 17 and 18, adding that the “Mumbai operations” of the “BJP washing machine” had increased their resolve to defeat the BJP.

On Twitter, Congress General Secretary (Organization) K C Venugopal announced the Opposition meeting dates, saying, “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, Congress national secretary (Communications), slammed the BJP for inducting the NCP’s Ajit Pawar and eight other leaders into the Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government.

“Yesterday when the BJP Washing Machine restarted in Mumbai with its ICE (Income tax, CBI, ED) detergent, BJP-inspired obituaries on Opposition unity were being planted. The obit writers will be disappointed. The next meeting of the parties that met at Patna on June 23rd will be held in Bengaluru on July 17th & 18th,” he said.

“If anything the Mumbai operations have strengthened Opposition resolve,” Mr Ramesh said on Twitter.

TMC’s leader in Rajya Sabha Derek O’Brien also tagged Venugopal’s tweet and said, “Bengaluru Summit. All For One. One For All.”

Earlier, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar said that the next opposition meeting will be held on July 13-14 in Bengaluru. Those dates have been said to clash with Assembly sessions in several states.

On June 23, the first conference of opposition parties held in Patna, Bihar.
