By Team Newsable | First Published Jul 18, 2023, 2:44 PM ISTDuring a dinner meeting held last night, all participating political parties were requested to suggest names for the alliance. These suggestions will be discussed and consensus will be reached during the deliberations.
As 26 opposition parties convene in Bengaluru today to strategize and form a united front against the BJP in preparation for the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections, reports suggest that the name "I-N-D-I-A" is being contemplated as a unifying symbol. This proposed name aims to bring together the diverse parties under a common banner, emphasizing their shared objective of countering the ruling party's influence. The opposition leaders are determined to streamline their strategy and present a cohesive front in their quest for electoral success in the upcoming national elections.
During the meeting, the proposed acronym "I-N-D-I-A" (Indian National Democratic Inclusive Alliance) has emerged as a potential name for the mega opposition front aimed at challenging the ruling party.
