No party invited to meeting; all interested parties have come: KC Venugopal on excluding JD(S)
Bengaluru: Leaders of all parties aiming to fight against the BJP will attend the two-day meeting of opposition parties here of their own accord, they need not be invited, Congress National General Secretary KC Venugopal said, when asked why the JD(S) leaders were not called for the meeting.
Addressing the media in the city on Monday, Venugopal said, “The JD(S) has already given a clear picture on its stand in the matter.” He also told the reporters to focus on the problems faced by the country rather than the leader of the opposition party’s confederation.
Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar said, “The high-level meeting being organized on Tuesday is to discuss the future of the country. It is not about a specific political party, but about the problems faced by the 140 crore people of India and we have gathered to try and find a solution to the problems.”
Shivakumar expressed confidence in the meeting, hosted by the Congress, bringing about a change in the national political field. “On behalf of the Karnataka Congress, I welcome the leaders of all parties to the meeting. Just as Karnataka witnessed a major political change through the Assembly elections this year, we are sure to see a change in the country with the results of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
