Kolkata (July 17,2023) : West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will travel to Bengaluru on Tuesday to meet with opposition leaders from across the country. The meeting is being organized by the Karnataka Congress and is expected to discuss a joint strategy for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Banerjee will be accompanied by her nephew and Trinamool Congress (TMC) national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee. The two leaders are expected to hold separate meetings with other opposition leaders, including Congress president Sonia Gandhi and former prime minister Manmohan Singh.

The meeting in Bengaluru comes at a time when the opposition is looking to unite against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The BJP has been in power at the Centre for eight years and is facing increasing challenges from the opposition. The meeting in Bengaluru is seen as an important opportunity for the opposition to discuss a common agenda and formulate a strategy for the 2024 elections. The BJP is expected to make a strong bid to retain power in the next general elections, and the opposition will need to be united if it wants to challenge the BJP's dominance.
