This exchange between the political parties subtly segued into a broader context, touching upon the ongoing discourse surrounding the acronym 'INDIA,' representing the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance, a coalition of opposition parties set to challenge the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
