32 leaders from 16 Opposition parties attended a big four-hour-long Opposition meeting in Bihar's Patna on Friday, and decided to fight against the BJP in next year's Lok Sabha elections together.

Bihar Chief Minister and JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar spoke first, and termed the meeting the first step in a larger opposition unity. "More parties will join this coalition closer to 2024," he said.
