In a significant move ahead of the upcoming Loksabha elections, an alliance of opposition political parties, known by the acronym I.N.D.I.A, has gathered momentum. Prominent leaders, including Mamata Banerjee, Chief Minister of West Bengal, Tejashwi Yadav, Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar, and RJD supremo Lalu Prasad, have convened in Mumbai for a crucial meeting to finalize their electoral agenda.

  • The alliance has been critical of the BJP-led government, accusing it of mismanaging the economy, mishandling the COVID-19 pandemic, and promoting communalism.
  • The alliance is hoping to capitalize on the growing anti-incumbency sentiment against the BJP and win the Lok Sabha elections.
  • The elections are scheduled to be held in April-May 2024.

Expressing optimism, the alliance members have voiced their confidence in presenting a robust alternative to the current political landscape. With the motto of bringing about a significant shift in the country’s governance, the alliance believes it has a slew of potential prime ministerial contenders who could lead the nation in a new direction.
