Inside INDIA huddle: Fight to finish against BJP, says Rahul; Mamata for larger Opposition

A meeting of the INDIA bloc parties in Delhi revealed opposition leader Rahul Gandhi's push for unity among democratic forces against the BJP-led government. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge echoed this sentiment, stating it was time for all democratic forces to unite. Rahul claimed the BJP's system was crumbling and they were in a fight to the finish.

He also suggested some INDIA parties may have differences, but national unity should take precedence. TMC chief Mamata Banerjee supported taking a protest march to the EC office immediately after the meeting. Civil society groups and intellectuals opposed to the BJP were urged to join the cause. The meeting also discussed alleged irregularities in the West Bengal elections and the alleged capture of institutions by the government.
