<b>All parties to meet on July 23: Gowda</b>
New Delhi (PTI): After keeping the UPA on tenterhooks for almost a fortnight, the JD(S) today announced that it would vote against the Government during the July 22 trust vote in Lok Sabha and indicated it was joining ranks with the third front.
JD(S) chief Deve Gowda said all the three MPs of his party had collectively decided to vote against the government.
He made the announcement soon after BSP chief Mayawati met him.
With Mayawati standing by his side, Gowda said all the parties, who are opposed to the UPA dispensation, will meet on July 23 to chalk out the next strategy.
"All parties, big and small, will meet on July 23 to think over issues like price rise, nuclear deal, poverty," he said, adding they will release a document on these.
Mayawati thanked Gowda for taking the decision to vote against the government and said all the like-minded parties will join in fight against the UPA government.
