A Public Interest Litigation was filed at the Delhi High Court on Thursday seeking direction from the court to the opposition bloc political parties to prohibit the use of the acronym INDIA, which stands for the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance. The plea sought directions from the court to the central government and the Election Commission of India to take necessary action against the political parties for using the acronym INDIA.

After the meeting, they announced that their coalition would be called INDIA, an acronym for Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance.
