Patna, 25/9: The INLD rally to celebrate late Devi Lal’s birth anniversary on Sunday became a platform for the display of Opposition unity with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar calling for a “main front” of all non-BJP parties, including the Congress, at the national level against the BJP which he said can defeat the saffron party in 2024.
Nitish’s call for the inclusion of the Congress came even as the main Opposition party, with which the rally organiser INLD was not particularly friendly, was absent along with some other parties like the CPI which were not invited.
The rally held at Haryana’s Fatehabad also saw the presence of NCP supremo Sharad Pawar, CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury, Akali Dal chief Sukbhir Badal, RJD leader and Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav and Shiv Sena’s Arvind Sawant, who came in for Uddhav Thackeray who could not attend it, among others.
