india-bloc-may-meet-on-june-1-for-poll-analysis

The opposition, the INDI alliance will be meeting on June 1 to analyse the performance of the Lok Sabha elections. The top leaders of the bloc will further draw strategy ahead of the results. 

 

The sources said the proposed meeting will be convened in Delhi on the afternoon of June 1, the day the last and 7th phase of polling will be underway. 

 

The opposition leaders will discuss their strategy ahead of the June 4 results and assess their performance in the seven-phase elections, the sources said. 

 

The opposition alliance has been claiming that it would be able to stop the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) from returning to power at the Centre and cobble together a government of its own. 

 

Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge has convened the meeting, the sources said. 

 

The ruling alliance led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also claimed that it would form the government at the Centre for the third successive time after these elections. 

 

Twenty-eight opposition parties came together to form the INDIA bloc. 

 

However, some parties such as Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United) and the Rashtriya Lok Dal later switched over to the NDA.
