The TMC considers June 23 Opposition meeting in Patna as a “good beginning” ahead of the 2024 general elections and emphasised the significance of anti-BJP parties uniting against “undemocratic and authoritarian policies”
The Trinamool Congress considers Friday's Opposition meeting in Bihar's Patna as a "good beginning" ahead of the 2024 general elections and emphasised the significance of anti-BJP parties uniting against "undemocratic and authoritarian policies".
Leaders as diverse as Rahul Gandhi, Mamata Banerjee, M.K. Stalin, Sharad Pawar, Mehbooba Mufti and Hemant Soren and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal are expected to take part in the meeting convened by Bihar Chief Minister and JD(U) supremo Nitish Kumar, who dumped the BJP last year.
Ms. Banerjee will be accompanied by TMC national general secretary and her nephew Abhishek Banerjee for the Opposition meeting.
"A good beginning even before reaching Patna...All parties working to save the Constitution of the country are on the same page on many issues. For now, we have a date, a venue and an agreement that the head of every party will attend the meeting.
"Subsequently, the date and venue for the next meeting will be decided in Patna. Beyond this, it is not advisable for anyone to jump the gun and speculate," TMC's Rajya Sabha leader Derek O'Brien said.
The idea of hosting a meeting of Opposition leaders in Patna was floated by Ms. Banerjee, who had invoked the memory of Jayaprakash Narayan upon meeting Mr. Kumar in Kolkata in April.
The aim should be to ensure that the opposition unity takes shape at the earliest as less than a year is left before the 2024 general elections, Senior TMC leader Sukhendu Shekhar Roy told PTI.
