Congress Chief Mallikarjun Kharge has been selected to lead the INDIA opposition bloc, aiming to challenge the NDA led by BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The decision follows discussions where Bihar CM Nitish Kumar suggested a Congress member take charge. However, seat-sharing complexities within the alliance, especially in Uttar Pradesh and discussions with AAP, remain unresolved. In Uttar Pradesh, tension persists due to Congress's refusal to share seats, while negotiations with AAP involve disagreements over seat allocations in Delhi, Punjab, Goa, Haryana, and Gujarat. The opposition bloc, INDIA, strives to prevent the NDA from securing a third consecutive term.
