The Delhi CM has been an avid practitioner of vipassana, attending these sessions in various locations like Bengaluru and Jaipur. Despite his scheduled absence, the INDIA bloc's theme of unity, "Main nahi, hum" (Not me, but us), remains at the forefront of discussions.
According to various reports, the upcoming meeting aims to tackle critical issues like seat-sharing among alliance partners, crucial for the INDIA bloc's collective strategy ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The absence of a seat-sharing agreement in the three aforementioned states, where Congress anticipated a favorable outcome, has complicated negotiations among opposition parties.
This absence of seat-sharing agreements impacted parties like the Samajwadi Party, which contested in 69 seats in Madhya Pradesh, yet garnered minimal votes, not even securing a close second position in any contested constituency. With dissatisfaction brewing among alliance members, discussions around seat-sharing and election campaigns are poised to take center stage in the upcoming meeting.
