Picking the name INDIA for alliance, Opposition parties frame 2024 battle as BJP vs the country

The Hindu  

At the conclusion of a four-hour-long meeting of the Opposition on Tuesday, the 26 parties announced the name of their alliance — INDIA, standing for Indian National Developmental, Inclusive Alliance. Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi had during the “Bharat Jodo Yatra” stressed on the growing chasm between “two Indias” and the Congress wanted the name of the alliance to address this. Sources said the name resonated with the others in the group too, especially since many felt that it was time for the Opposition to recapture the “nationalism” plank, which the BJP has been monopolising. Sources said that former Congress president Rahul Gandhi, who spoke at the very end, “passionately” argued for this name, as the Opposition must recapture the “nationalism” plank that the BJP has been using. At the press conference, former Maharashtra Chief Minister Udhav Thackeray said, “Jiske liye ladh rahe hai uske naam par ladenge.” Another Opposition leader quipped that the name effectively put an end to the debate on “Modi versus who?” It is now Modi versus INDIA.
