The meeting, led by Leader of the Opposition R. Ashok, included prominent figures such as Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, former Chief Ministers Basavaraj Bommai and D.V. Sadananda Gowda, and BJP State president B.Y. Vijayendra.

The parties plan to jointly address several key issues during the session, including a rise in communal clashes and alleged government inaction, continued deaths among the poor despite an anti-microfinance ordinance, irregularities in the KPSC examination, and farmer suicides. Mr. Ashok stated that both parties will work together to highlight these alleged government failures and irregularities.
