INDIA Bloc Leaders to Meet in Delhi on June 8 to Discuss Opposition Strategy
Senior leaders of the opposition INDIA bloc are expected to meet in Delhi on June 8 to discuss joint strategy and strengthen coordination against the BJP-led government. Around 15 parties, including TMC's Mamata Banerjee, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, Samajwadi Party's Akhilesh Yadav, and Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, are likely to attend. The DMK is unlikely to participate following Congress's split and alignment with TVK, which efforts are underway to include. The Aam Aadmi Party has distanced itself and is not expected to join. The meeting follows recent assembly election setbacks for TMC and DMK and aims to reinforce opposition unity amid evolving political dynamics.
