The Bengaluru meeting comes less than a month after the first such high-profile meeting, that took place in Patna, Bihar on June 23.
The gathering is being seen as a boost to Opposition unity, as 11 additional parties will join the gathering this time, the Congress party said. Some key agendas to expected to be discussed in the meeting include joint programmes at the national level, strategy on upcoming Parliament session among other issues.
