Leaders of 23 opposition parties met at Delhi’s Constitution Club on Monday for a key INDIA bloc meeting aimed at strengthening coordination and preparing a strategy against the BJP ahead of future elections. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge used the meeting to attack the Centre, saying, “India’s foreign policy has been compromised.” He also raised concerns over unemployment, examination irregularities and what opposition leaders described as threats to democratic institutions. Senior leaders including Sonia Gandhi, Sharad Pawar, Mamata Banerjee and Akhilesh Yadav attended the meeting. However, the DMK and the Aam Aadmi Party skipped the gathering. Opposition leaders stressed the need to “safeguard democratic values” and maintain unity, while BJP leaders dismissed the meeting, calling the alliance ineffective and lacking purpose. (PC: HT)
