The recent opposition meeting in Bangalore was a significant step in the right direction for the Indian political landscape. For the first time in years, a large number of opposition parties 26 in numbers came together to discuss a common strategy for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and formed a coalition - Indian National Development Inclusive Alliance ( INDIA)
The meeting was not without its challenges. However, the fact that the parties were able to come together at all is a sign of hope for those who are tired of the current government and feel that democracy, secularism and constitution is in danger in India.
One of the most important outcomes of the meeting was the agreement to form a common minimum program. This program will outline the key policies that the opposition would pursue if it were to come to power. The program is still in its early stages, but it is a positive step towards creating a united opposition front. A committee will be formed to draft the common minimum agenda to fight the Lok Sabha election 2024.
Another important outcome of the meeting was the decision to hold regular consultations between the opposition parties. This will help to ensure that the opposition is on the same page and that it is able to present a united front against the BJP. However, there is still a long way to go before the opposition can defeat the BJP in the 2024 elections. The opposition parties will need to continue to work together and develop a strong and coherent message.
If the opposition can do these things, they will
have a good chance of winning the next general election.
For coordination among the parties a committee of 11 members will be set up and a convenor will be selected in the next meeting at Mumbai the date of which will be announced later on.
On the other side NDA convened it's meeting on 18th yesterday in New
Delhi and while addressing meeting of 39 NDA constituents PM Modi said that NDA
coalition is contribution, not compulsion and will come to power for a third
consecutive term and will bag more than 50 percent of the vote share. Commenting
upon the opposition alliance he said that when the alliance is formed with
intention of corruption and based on dynastic politics, casteism and
regionalism then the alliance is very harmful for the country.
The BJP is well organised party and has spread its tentacles almost in every corner of the country. It's cader is dedicated and energetic. Now the coming months will see how the present Govt reaches out to public with the work done in the last two terms and how it will resolve the public issues such as unemployment and rise in prices of articles of daily use and opposition succeeding in conveying to public that it is the best alternative to the present Govt for strong , stable and people friendly government in the centre.
