In a strategy meeting of crucial importance, opposition leaders from the INDIA bloc will gather this evening at Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge's residence to address ongoing election results and future government formation. The meeting, set to take place at 6 PM at 10, Rajaji Marg, will explore the potential of collaborating with previous allies, Nitish Kumar and N Chandrababu Naidu.

Kharge confirmed the agenda on X, emphasizing the need for a unified strategy post-elections. Participating in the crucial discussion will be heavyweights such as Sharad Pawar, M K Stalin, Champai Soren, Uddhav Thackeray, Akhilesh Yadav, Tejashwi Yadav, Sitaram Yechury, and D Raja, along with Congress stalwarts Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. Abhishek Banerjee will represent TMC from Kolkata.

Despite the BJP falling short of a majority, sources speculate that the opposition leaders are keen on reviewing their approach. Both TDP and JD(U) have pledged their allegiance to the NDA, crossing the halfway mark needed for majority. Nonetheless, there are murmurs within Congress circles about efforts to persuade these strong regional players.
