The opposition coalition known as the INDIA bloc is convening in New Delhi, gathering 23 political parties to reassess their approach after facing electoral challenges. This meeting, the first in nearly two years, comes in light of recent losses for key members such as the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the Trinamool Congress (TMC). Notable attendees include Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, and TMC leader Mamata Banerjee, although the DMK and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have chosen not to participate. Internal tensions are evident, particularly from the Communist Party of India (Marxist), which has voiced concerns about Congress's leadership and coordination. The agenda will focus on critical issues such as the Special Intensive Revision of voter lists, which opposition parties fear may disenfranchise eligible voters, and the delimitation process that could alter seat distributions. Additionally, the bloc is expected to strategize for upcoming state elections and the 2029 Lok Sabha elections, emphasizing the need for better coordination among its members.
