Arvind Kejriwal and Nitish Kumar Meet Rahul Gandhi for Opposition Unity

After that, Nitish Kumar and Rahul Gandhi reportedly discussed the country’s current political situation and ways to strengthen Opposition unity.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish, who arrived in Delhi with a lengthy “to-do” list for his “Mission Opposition,” crossed the first item off his list Monday evening. When he met with Congress President Rahul Gandhi at his Tughlaq Road residence. According to sources, the discussion focused entirely on 2024 and ways to unite the Opposition, after which Mr. Kumar told reporters once more that he has no ambition for the top job.

“A concerted effort is being made to weaken regional parties. My goal is to bring the Opposition together ahead of the general election. I have no intentions of running for Prime Minister, “Mr. Kumar told reporters.

Despite Mr. Kumar’s many protests to the contrary, the buzz about his interest in the Prime Minister’s post. Which began immediately after his split from the BJP, shows no sign of abating.

While Mr. Kumar has stated that he wishes to meet the leaders of his new Mahagathbandhan alliance in Delhi, he has also noted. That the visit is intended to bring all opposition leaders under one umbrella – a task that is seen as significant.

There are several disparate elements on his list of people he wants to meet.

Arvind Kejriwal, the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party and the Chief Minister of Delhi, is a crucial figure among them. Attempts to incorporate him into the opposition coalition failed in 2019, owing to the AAP’s role in destabilizing the UPA government at the Centre.

Mr. Kumar also wants to meet HD Kumaraswamy, the chief of the Janata Dal-Secular. Who ended the alliance with the Congress after their Karnataka government collapsed.

The formation of the Congress-JDS alliance to keep the BJP out of power in Karnataka in 2018 marked the beginning of efforts to form an opposition front.
