AAP will solicit participation in the opposition’s meeting in Bengaluru today

On Sunday, the Aam Aadmi Party is anticipated to decide whether or not to attend the opposition meeting that will be held in Bengaluru on July 17.

According to sources, AAP leaders will discuss whether or not to take part in the Bengaluru Opposition, which will take place in Bengaluru on July 17–18.

Additionally, AAP will go through its plan for the forthcoming Monsoon session of Parliament.

Members of the AAP’s Political Affairs Committee and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann will attend the meeting, according to NDTV.

The AAP had said in a statement after the June 23 mammoth Opposition meeting in Patna, Bihar, that the Congress’ hesitancy and “refusal to act as a team player will make it very difficult for the AAP to be a part of any alliance that includes the Congress” would make it very impossible.

As long as the Congress does not officially reject the Centre’s disputed rule on the control of administrative services in Delhi, the AAP has said that it would not participate in any future opposition rallies that involve the Congress.

In order to establish solidarity among the opposition ranks to oppose the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, JD(U) leader and Chief Minister of Bihar Nitish Kumar has taken the initiative to talk to many regional satraps in addition to the Congress, Aam Aadmi Party, and the Left.

Nitish Kumar, the chief minister of Bihar, and Arvind Kejriwal, his counterpart in Delhi, had earlier urged the opposition to band together to oppose the BJP. The JD(U) leader had also met with the AAP convenor at his home and given him his “complete support” in the ongoing conflict with the Centre over the management of administrative services.

Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress, recently asserted, during a conversation in Washington, that the Congress will “decimate” the BJP in the upcoming three to four assembly elections, stressing that they have the fundamental elements necessary to defeat the ruling party, which lacks the support of the overwhelming majority of Indians.

It is interesting to note that opposition unity was also on display at the swearing-in of Congress leaders Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar in Bengaluru on, as a host of leaders arrived in what was perceived as a coming-together of the non-BJP bloc ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, including Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, his Tamil Nadu counterpart M K Stalin, and others.
