The Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) and the ruling Mahagathbandhan are engaged in a war of posters
in Patna, Bihar. This is before a meeting between opposition parties on June 23. In the city, Congress members set up “Mohabbat ki dukan” booths, and BJP backers put up “Pariwar Bachao” signs criticizing Nitish Kumar, the chief minister of Bihar, for trying to forge unity.
Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, Mamata Banerjee of the TMC, and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal are heading to Patna to create an anti-BJP front for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Opposition parties want to postpone the bitter leadership dispute and focus on finding common ground, insiders say.
Six chief ministers will be among 18 party leaders present.
AAP sources claim that the party would leave the conference if the Congress does not pledge its support against the Centre’s law on the control of administrative services in Delhi, exposing rifts in the opposition ranks a day before the important discussions.
The Samajwadi Party is the only Uttar Pradesh party that is expected to be present at the meeting. No invitation was sent to BSP supremo Mayawati. Rashtriya Lok Dal chief Jayant Chaudhary may skip the meeting due to a family event.
The leaders expected to be present at the initial high-level opposition meeting include Gandhi, Kharge, Mamata Banerjee, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann (AAP), and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, Tamil Nadu CM M K Stalin (DMK), among others.
The meeting is being held at the chief minister’s 1, Aney Marg house. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar (JDU) and his deputy Tejashwi Yadav (RJD) will host the meeting.
