Theme For 2024 Lok Sabha Polls
As per the resolution passed on September 1, the INDIA alliance also decided to work together on political communication and media strategies and to use the theme 'Judega Bharat, Jiteega India' in different languages for their campaigns. "We, the INDIA parties, hereby resolve to collaborate on our respective communications and media strategies and campaigns with the slogan in different languages," the resolution said.
Earlier, while addressing the INDIA alliance meeting, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge cautioned that the alliance leaders should brace themselves for more attacks from the various agencies of the government.
"We should be ready for more attacks in the coming months, more raids and arrests due to this government's spiteful politics. The more ground our alliance gains the more the BJP Govt will abuse agencies against our leaders. It has done the same in Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Bengal. In fact Last week, it was done in Jharkhand and in Chattisgarh... The communal venom that the BJP and RSS have spread over the last 9 years is now seen in hate crimes against innocent train passengers and innocent school children," said Kharge.
The third formal meeting of the opposition bloc INDIA alliance started on Friday with the objective of devising an action plan for the next Lok Sabha Polls. The first meeting of the joint opposition was held in Patna on June 23 and the second meeting was held in Bengaluru on July 17-18.
