B’luru meet will be a game changer for Oppn

Bengaluru “We have faith that the joint meeting of opposition parties is going to be a game changer in national politics,” stated AICC General Secretary and Rajya Sabha Member KC Venugopal. “This is our first victory. The parliament session will begin soon and the strategy will be discussed to expose the BJP government. This is going to be a game changer meeting,” he said. Addressing a joint press conference in Bengaluru on Monday ahead of the meeting of opposition parties with Rajya Sabha member Jairam Ramesh, he stated that the meeting which will be held on Tuesday will discuss prominent issues. 26 political parties are taking part in the event and discussion would be held on a plethora of issues, he said.

This is not a federation of one party. All parties are coming together to form a federation and a decision will be taken on giving the appropriate name for the federation as well, it won’t be finalised in one meeting. The parties which are not part of UPA are also in the federation, he explained.

The second meeting of the opposition leaders is going to take place on July 18. The first meeting which was held in Patna on June 23 was successful. The meeting will commence from 11 a.m. onwards. The meeting will be attended by 26 political parties, he explained.

“We are meeting to achieve one common goal. There is a need to protect the fundamental rights. The BJP is attempting to subdue the voice of the opposition. The CBI and ED are used as means to hush up opposition. The political development in Maharashtra is also part of this development,” Venugopal maintained.
