Addressing a press conference here on the two-day crucial deliberations of Opposition parties starting this evening, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has suddenly remembered the NDA.
“Attempts are being made to breathe new life into the NDA. There used to be no talk about NDA and suddenly since the past few days we are hearing and reading about it. Suddenly, it was reported that an NDA meeting has been called for tomorrow. So NDA, which had become a ghost, attempts are now being made to breathe a new life into it,” Ramesh said.
This is a result of the meeting in Patna, he added.
Also addressing the presser alongside Ramesh, Congress general secretary organisation KC Venugopal said people will teach a lesson when the time comes to those who have totally failed in governance and cheated them with false promises.
He said 26 Opposition parties are here to move forward unitedly and give a solution for people’s problems and to address the concerns over this “dictatorial government’s actions”.
“That is why we have come here. This is the second meeting. We will decide in this meeting what the course of action would be in future,” Venugopal said.
The Parliament session is also starting on July 20 and the opposition parties will chalk out the strategy for that also, he said.
“We are very sure that this is going to be a game changer for Indian political scenario and we are very happy to see that after the Patna meeting those who were saying that ‘we are very comfortable in defeating the entire Opposition alone’, have now started meetings, that is the real success of opposition unity,” Venugopal said.
Top leaders of opposition parties are likely to attend the two-day brainstorming session here to chalk out a strategy to unitedly fight the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
