The opposition's INDIA alliance will contest the 2024 Lok Sabha election "together as far as possible", the bloc said Friday, the final day of its meeting in Mumbai. The wording of the INDIA alliance's resolution, however, has raised eyebrows and spawned questions, specifically of the kind the grouping was meant to answer - just how united is the opposition as it bids to prevent Prime Minister Narendra Modi claiming an unprecedented third term.
The parties also resolved to "coordinate respective communications and media strategies and campaigns with the theme "Judega Bharat, Jiteega India" in different languages.
The resolution after INDIA's third meeting (the first two were in Patna and Bengaluru) also refers to possible seat-sharing arrangements, but in equally tentative language, noting these will be "initiated immediately and concluded... in a collaborative spirit of give-and-take".
