New Delhi- The next meeting of opposition parties will be held in Bengaluru on July 17 and 18, the Congress announced on Monday, and asserted their resolve to defeat the BJP has been strengthened by the “Mumbai operations” of the “BJP washing machine”.

Congress general secretary (organisation) K C Venugopal made the announcement of Opposition meeting dates on Twitter and said “we are steadfast in our unwavering resolve to defeat the fascist and undemocratic forces”.

“After a hugely successful all-opposition meeting in Patna, we will be holding the next meeting in Bengaluru on 17 and 18 July, 2023. We are steadfast in our unwavering resolve to defeat the fascist and undemocratic forces and present a bold vision to take the country forward,” Venugopal said.

Congress general secretary (Communications) Jairam Ramesh took a dig at the BJP over the NCP’s Ajit Pawar and eight other leaders being inducted into the Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government.

“Yesterday when the BJP Washing Machine restarted in Mumbai with its ICE (Income tax, CBI, ED) detergent, BJP-inspired obituaries on Opposition unity were being planted. The obit writers will be disappointed. The next meeting of the parties that met at Patna on June 23rd will be held in Bengaluru on July 17th & 18th,” he said.

“If anything the Mumbai operations have strengthened Opposition resolve,” Mr Ramesh said on Twitter.
