Bengaluru is set to hog the political limelight yet again with the upcoming meeting of Opposition parties looking to draw up plans for a joint fight against the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections. This is the second time in the past two months that Bengaluru will host a number of political leaders since several of them gathered for the swearing-in ceremony of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
The meeting in Bengaluru follows the first such gathering in Patna last month to forge an anti-BJP political front. While this meeting was scheduled to be held at Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, it was moved to Bengaluru due to the weather condition in the hill State.
This time around, Congress leader Sonia Gandhi will participate as well. After Congress announced its support for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the issue of the Centre’s ordinance, AAP will also be attending the meeting. Rashtriya Lok Dal leader Jayanth Choudhary, who had skipped the Patna meeting for personal reasons, will also be there.
