The united opposition front will be called 'INDIA' - the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance. The name was proposed by the Congress party at the united Opposition parties meet in Bengaluru, that was attended by 26 "like-minded" parties. Former Congress president Sonia Gandhi was also in attendance at the meet that looks to take on the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Several parties, including the MDMK, KDMK, VCK, RSP, Forward Bloc, IUML, Kerala Congress (Joseph), and Kerala Congress (Mani), are among those who joined the second opposition meeting. The first meeting of the United Opposition was held on June 23.
Soon after the announcement was made by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge at a press conference on Tuesday, people began to share their reactions on internet.
Taking to the microbloggign site Twitter, a user shared a scene from the hit Bollywood movie Chak De India and wrote, "The alliance will be called INDIA. Rahul Gandhi in the opposition meeting today :."

"This is not an Development/Democratic alliance it's a Disaster/Dyansty alliance All have joined hands only to save their existence , coz in the MODI 3.0 wave this people may not be seen," wrote a third.
While a fourth shared a clip from PM Narendra Modi's Speech and wrote, "In the Opposition Meeting they are calling Alliance INDIA vs NDA. Remember what Modi ji once said for 2024 Elections. #NDAMeeting."
