We will fight the issue of farm laws and inflation and a list of 15-16 issues on which all the political parties can come to an agreement has been prepared, said the LoP in Rajya Sabha.

We will fight against BJP ideology: Kharge

Kharge said that Congress will try to come together to defeat BJP in Parliament.
“We will fight against their ideology, regardless of the party or ideology we may belong to. We will continue to fight against BJP by meeting the people who have always been with us,” he added.
On Congress leaders joining the Trinamool Congress, Kharge said that organisational fights have always taken place and there is no use commenting now.
“Important to fight together in the arena of Parliament as Rahul Gandhi, in a core committee meeting of floor leaders, had said that parties may have different ideologies but our common goal is to fight BJP,” he said.
