The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has begin its meeting today at ‘The Ashoka Hotel’ in New Delhi, with 38 political parties in attendance, ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. A total of 38 political parties are participating in the meeting.
According to the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), some of the 38 parties have left the NDA and rejoined the alliance “to strengthen India,” while the saffron party remains dedicated to its “ideology.”
This gathering is taking place on the same day as 26 opposition parties will meet for the second time in a month to plan for the approaching elections. However, just nine parties hold 10 or more Lok Sabha seats (the nine account for 479 MPs).
It is very possible that at least some of the opposition grouping’s 26 potential constituents, as well as the NDA’s 38, are not represented in the Lok Sabha; only 37 parties have members in the lower house of Parliament.
