The opposition leaders had already declared they would gather in Shimla from July 10 to 12. They had previously convened at Nitish Kumar’s home, the chief minister of Bihar. The gathering would be organised to set a plan of action for collaborating while fighting the Bharatiya Janata Party in each state in 2024. The opposition parties have committed to work together to campaign in the elections, according to Nitish Kumar, who described the discussion as “good.” Opposition leaders including West Bengal’s Mamata Banerjee, Delhi’s Arvind Kejriwal, Congressmen Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti, and NCP leader Sharad Pawar were present in the huddle. However, disagreements broke out between the Congress and AAP over a Centre rule that limited the authority of the Kejriwal administration in Delhi. Following the meeting, the AAP issued a statement criticising Congress for failing to voice its position on the legislation. The AAP further stated that it would be challenging for them to join future opposition party gatherings when Congress would be present.

On the day that opposition leaders met in Patna, Union Home Minister Amit Shah had declared in a public conference, “I would want to warn them that despite their efforts, unity among them is not feasible.
