Opposition leaders
I-N-D-I-A, which stands for the Indian National Democratic Inclusive Alliance, is the chosen name for the united opposition front.
This decision was made by the 26 parties participating in the crucial meet in Bengaluru, setting the stage for a "Modi versus INDIA" battle in the 2024 general elections.
Derek O'Brien of the Trinamool Congress expressed his excitement with a cheerful tweet that said, "Chak de India!"
After much discussion on the second day of the mega meeting, the name was finalised.
The Left parties suggested changing the word 'Alliance' to 'Front', while some parties were not in favor of including 'NDA' in the name, according to sources.
Uddhav Thackeray, the chief of Shiv Sena UBT, advocated for a name that would not mention the opposition.
Finally, it was Rahul Gandhi who proposed the name, as tweeted by Jitendra Ahwad of the Nationalist Congress Party.
His tweet stated that Rahul Gandhi's creativity was highly appreciated.
A meeting of opposing parties was held in Bangalore, where Rahul Gandhi proposed the idea of naming the upcoming Indian general elections as INDIA.
This proposal was met with great enthusiasm and received approval from all parties. It has been decided that the upcoming Lok Sabha elections will be fought under the name of INDIA.
