New Delhi, June 9 : Even as the first meeting of the like-minded opposition parties scheduled for June 12 got cancelled, the Congress on Friday said its president Mallikarjun Kharge and senior leader Rahul Gandhi will attend the meeting on June 23 in Patna.
The Congress’ assertion came after Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav announced in Patna that a meeting of opposition parties, organised by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, will be held in Patna on June 23. Addressing a press conference with JD(U) national president Rajiv Ranjan Singh by his side, Yadav said that top leaders of most opposition parties, including Kharge, Gandhi, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, her Tamil Nadu counterpart M K Stalin and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal have agreed to attend the meeting.
