Opposition unity in jeopardy as AAP-Congress feud overshadows Shimla meeting.
Leaders of 14 opposition parties, including TMC, NCP, SP, and DMK, met in Patna to strategize for Mission 2024 and field a common candidate against each of the BJP nominees in the maximum possible Lok Sabha seats. AAP skipped the joint presser, insisting that Congress stand by them on the central ordinance on control of administrative services in Delhi. The group will reconvene in Shimla on July 10 or 12 to flesh out their strategy.
