Differences not so big we cannot put them behind us,’ says Mallikarjun Kharge
Opposition meeting in Bengaluru: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said that BJP did not get 303 seats on its own but through its allies. BJP discarded its allies after coming to power.
Mallikarjun Kharge, the president of the Congress, stated that while there are ideological differences between the aforementioned parties, these differences are not so great as to prevent them from being overlooked for the good of the group at the joint opposition meeting, which was organised in Bengaluru to bring together 26 opposition parties and give them a common agenda to take on the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
On Tuesday, Kharge stated, "We are aware that there are divisions between some of us at the state level. These divisions are not ideological in nature. For the benefit of the average person, the middle class, the young, the underprivileged, the Dalit, the adivasis, and the minority whose rights are silently violated behind closed doors, we should put these disagreements behind us.

He claimed that the government has turned every institution against the opposition. The use of every institution as a weapon against the opposition is widespread. ED, CBI, and income tax are frequently employed. Our leaders are the targets of fabricated criminal accusations in an effort to drag them through the courts. To suspend our MPs, constitutional authorities are invoked. MLAs are being paid or blackmailed to switch to the BJP and overthrow administrations, according to Kharge.
