With renaming of the UPA as INDIA, the opposition parties, led by the Congress, have essentially sounded the poll bugle for the 2024 Look Sabha elections.
“Our alliance will be called INDIA (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance),” Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge said after opposition parties’ meeting in Bengaluru.
“This fight is not between 2 political formations but fight is to defend the idea of India. If you will see history, you will find that nobody has been able to fight the idea of India. It’s a fight between the idea of India and Narendra Modi,” Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said after renaming of UPA to INDIA.
Meanwhile, TMC supremo and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee dared the BJP-led NDA to challenge INDIA.
