Leaders of the Opposition bloc INDIA decided to get into the poll mode and speed up plans to take on the BJP-led NDA in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, with some stressing on the urgency to finalise seat sharing and come out with a joint agenda in a few weeks’ time. Top opposition leaders, who met in Mumbai for a few hours in an informal setting on the first day of the third round of talks of their alliance on Thursday, emphasised that they must get their act together at the earliest and vowed to finalise a coordination committee along with four sub-groups to chalk out their election plans.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge told the leaders to give one name from their respective parties for being part of the coordination committee. The Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) would also unveil its logo on Friday, even though there were no discussions on it on Thursday.
Most leaders agreed for early finalisation of poll plans for 2024 considering that there could be early elections, while stressing that there was no time left with them and mere meetings would not help.
