The name I-N-D-I-A is being considered to band the 26 opposition parties who are meeting in Bengaluru on Tuesday. At the meeting, the acronym I-N-D-I-A, or the Indian National Democratic Inclusive Alliance has been suggested to name the opposition front. Sources said that the term is coined to streamline a strategy and pose a united front to take on the BJP ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections. Reports said that the first day of the meeting was informal, with discussions followed by a dinner. On Tuesday, the meeting will become more formal, with deliberations on the grand alliance's name #OppositionMeet #INDIA #OppositionVSBJP ~PR.151~ED.103~HT.96~
