Union Home Minister Amit Shah on June 23 said the joint Opposition meet in Patna was merely a “photo session” and that the parties could never come together on a common platform.
Speaking at a government function to inaugurate a forensic laboratory and other development projects in Jammu, Mr. Shah said people had already decided that the Narendra Modi government would return to power in 2024 with more than 300 seats.
Mr. Shah said the Opposition deliberately chose the day to hold the meeting knowing well that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was on a state visit to the U.S. He said agreements were signed between India and the U.S. in the fields of space, defence and, semiconductors, and that many big companies were eager to invest in India.
