26 Oppn parties will attend the meet in Bengaluru today

Congress general secretary KC Venugopal on Monday hit out at the ruling BJP-led government at the Centre accusing it of misusing probe agencies for its political ends and said that the meeting of opposition parties in Bengaluru "will be a game-changer" for India's politics.

Addressing a press conference in Bengaluru as opposition parties gather in the city for the meeting, Venugopal alleged that the BJP wants to "silence the voice of opposition' and said disqualification of party leader Rahul Gandhi from Lok Sabha and developments in Maharashtra are examples.

Congress leaders Jairam Ramesh and Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar also addressed the press conference.

Venugopal said the opposition parties had a successful meeting in Patna on June 23.

"Tomorrow 26 political parties will participate in the Bengaluru meeting. We will decide the future course of action during the meeting which will be a game changer for the Indian political scenario. We will also chalk out the Parliament strategy. Now they (BJP) are also meetings, this is the real success of the opposition unity," he said.

Venugopal said the opposition parties are united by a common purpose - to protect democracy in this country, to ensure the Constitutional rights and the independence of our institutions. -- ANI
