This is the first attempt by Tamil Nadu CM and DMK Chief MK Stalin after Congress’s Rahul Gandhi was disqualified from Parliament.

This is the second opposition meeting organized by the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, who has emerged as the negotiator pushing for opposition unity ahead of the Lok Sabha elections next year. The DMK has denied any political angle in the meeting, saying it is trying to take forward the social justice movement. But Trinamool Congress’s Derek O’Brien said – we should not be shy of the fact that this is a political forum, and urged Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik and his Andhra Pradesh counterpart Jagan Mohan Reddy to attend such forums.
Two or three parties do not want to fight with BJP
Derek O’Brien said- Two or three parties do not want to fight with BJP. This is not the time to go grey. It’s time to be black or white. We have a job. I appeal to BJD that they should come together. Naveen Patnaik should be here. YSR Congress Party as well. Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, Hemant Soren, former Chief Ministers Farooq Abdullah and Akhilesh Yadav, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav, Trinamool’s Derek O’Brien, Left leaders Sitaram Yechury and D Raja are attending the second National Conference on Social Justice.
Many opposition leaders together on Stalin’s birthday
Other opposition parties such as Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party, Telangana’s Bharat Rashtra Samithi, Sharad Pawar’s Nationalist Congress Party – have also joined it. After the disqualification of Congress’s Rahul Gandhi from Parliament, this is the first such effort which seems to be bringing the opposition together. Recently DMK organized a rally in which many opposition leaders came together on the 70th birthday of Chief Minister MK Stalin.
