Former chief ministers of Jammu and Kashmir Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti have reached Bengaluru to attend joint opposition meeting for a brainstorming session to work out strategy against Bhartiya Janta Party in 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
One of the party leaders confirmed that both the leaders have reached Bengaluru to attend two-day joint opposition parties’s meeting from today.
He said that both Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti, who also attended the joint meeting in Bihar last month, reached Bengaluru today morning.
The leader said that they will attend the meeting for 2 days, while today evening a dinner has been hosted for the leaders who are attending the opposition parties’s joint meeting in Bengaluru.
Notably, a two-day joint opposition party meeting is being held in Bengaluru from today. It is the second such meeting that follows the mega Patna huddle convened on June 23 by Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar.
Leaders of around 26 opposition parties are expected to attend the brainstorming session and are likely to start working on a common minimum programme and announce a joint agitational plan to take on the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
NCP chief Sharad Pawar who skipped Day 1 of the big meet on Monday, will attend Day 2.
Meanwhile, to counter the opposition parties convergence at one platform, BJP has also invited its old National Democratic Alliance partners to join together.
BJP chief JP Nadda said that the party’s mega show of strength in Delhi, which will held parallelly with the Opposition’s unity meet in Bengaluru, will be attended by 38 parties.
