The INDIA bloc is preparing for a significant meeting in Delhi, focusing on the current political climate and the ongoing controversy surrounding the NEET UG exam. Congress general secretary (Organisation) KC Venugopal accused the central government of 'bulldozing anti-democratic attitudes' and emphasized the need to address various pressing issues, particularly those affecting students. The meeting will take place at the Constitution Club, with 23 political parties expected to participate. Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh assured that the alliance remains united, despite some parties choosing not to attend for their own reasons. Notably, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), a key member of the INDIA bloc, has decided to skip the meeting, citing feelings of betrayal by Congress over its support for the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) in Tamil Nadu. This internal rift highlights the challenges facing the opposition alliance as it seeks to counter the growing influence of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
