We have united on the demand of the people. The next meeting will be held in Shimla,” he said.
'People don't want to talk about Modi ji': Tejashwi further said that the “public does not want to talk about Narendra Modi”. “That's why the next Lok Sabha election in 2024 will be an election of the people. There is no election of any particular person. Elections will be held for 125 crore people of the country and elections will be fought on their issues only,” he said.
Next meeting of opposition parties in Shimla: In the meeting of opposition parties on Friday, it was decided that the next meeting will be held in Shimla on 10 or 12 July.
