Opposition Front Gets A Hindi Tagline

Former Maharashtra CM suggested this...

On Tuesday, the Opposition front of 26 parties chose I.N.D.I.A as its name.

Jeetega Bharat has been finalized as the tagline of the coalition that aims to take on the BJP in the 2024 general election.

The final decision on the tagline was taken after detailed consultations late last night.

Former Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray, now chief of Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray), had suggested that the Opposition alliance should have a Hindu tagline.

The name I.N.D.I.A - Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance -was finalised during the Opposition's two-day conclave in Bengaluru.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said the 2024 Lok Sabha election will be a "Modi versus I.N.D.I.A" battle. "The fight is between NDA and I.N.D.I.A, Narendra Modi and I.N.D.I.A, his ideology and I.N.D.I.A. India always wins all fights," said Mr. Gandhi.

As the Opposition went into a huddle in Bengaluru, the BJP held a parallel show of strength in the National Capital with representatives from 39 parties.

PM Modi launched a sharp attack on the Opposition front, saying that alliances "built on the base of negativity have never won". "When an alliance is dynastic and corrupt, the country will lose," he said.

To counter the I.N.D.I.A name, the PM spoke of "Bharat" and said the NDA represents the poor and the backward classes.
