At the recent meeting of the INDIA bloc, which included 23 opposition parties, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge underscored the necessity for unity to tackle significant economic, social, and foreign policy challenges facing India. He criticized the government's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, asserting it threatens the voting rights of millions. Kharge lauded the alliance's success in defeating controversial legislation, including the Constitution (One Hundred and Thirty-first Amendment) Bill and the Delimitation Bill. He pointed to escalating inflation, examination irregularities, and a compromised foreign policy as pressing concerns. The meeting was attended by key leaders such as Rahul Gandhi and Mamata Banerjee, while the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) was notably absent due to a recent political realignment.
