NEW DELHI, June 7: As many as 23 political parties of the opposition INDIA bloc will meet on Monday to redraw their strategy to take on the BJP and iron out differences amid changed power dynamics after the defeat of regional anchors TMC and DMK in the recent assembly polls.
Top leaders of opposition parties including Congress’s Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, TMC’s Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, Tejashwi Yadav of RJD and Uddhav Thackeray of Shiv Sena (UBT), besides Left leaders and those from smaller parties, are likely to attend the meeting in the national capital.
While the DMK and AAP are unlikely to attend, TVK is likely to be included in the INDIA bloc.
The recent defeat of TMC in West Bengal elections has also forced the opposition bloc to come together to take on the saffron surge in the country. (PTI)
