Opposition fault lines will vex unity efforts

Hindustan Times  

Opposition leaders will gather on June 23 to thrash out a common plan to take on the Bharatiya Janata Party. On the table are likely to be ideas for a common programme, contours of a common agenda in Parliament and outside, and thoughts on what a grassroots agenda could look like. Sample this: Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal hinted on Tuesday that an ordinance promulgated by the Centre that effectively overrode a Supreme Court judgment is likely to be on the agenda. PREMIUM The meeting of opposition parties in Patna is seen as a precursor to subsequent rounds of talks to chalk out a larger coalition to take on the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
