The Congress party, facing setbacks in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh, currently holds power in only Himachal Pradesh in the northern region. The INDIA bloc’s last meeting in Mumbai, hosted by Shiv Sena President Uddhav Thackeray, saw discussions on electoral issues, the formation of a coordination committee, and a resolution to collectively contest the 2024 general elections.

The alliance, consisting of 27 parties, aims to fight the upcoming Lok Sabha polls together under the banner of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA). The decision to unite against the BJP was made during the first meeting in Patna, hosted by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
