A police complaint has been filed against 26 Opposition parties for alleged improper use of the name of 'INDIA' and use of the said name for the undue influence and personation at elections.
The complainant, Dr Avinish Mishra, has urged for necessary action against the alliance. A day earlier, 26 opposition parties announced their coalition - Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) - to unitedly take on the ruling NDA in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi asserting that the fight will be "between INDIA and Prime Minister Narendra Modi".
Bharat Vs INDIA
The BJP and its NDA partners on Tuesday hit out at the opposition parties, claiming that giving a new name to their alliance "will not change their character" and the 2024 Lok Sabha battle is going to be “Bharat Mata versus INDIA”.

BJP IT department head Amit Malviya said the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) of the opposition parties had to kill its existence and acquire a new identity even when those who are part of this ‘new’ alliance haven’t changed. “National Democratic Alliance was founded in 1998. 25 years later, on a day, an expanded, stronger, NDA is meeting. The UPA had to kill its existence and acquire a new identity, even when those, who are part of the ‘new’ alliance, haven’t changed,” Malviya tweeted.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi too slammed the new opposition front, saying alliances built on negativity have never succeeded and asserting that the NDA will return to power for a third consecutive term, bagging more than 50 per cent of the vote share.
