Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance
Big-tent opposition coalition led by Indian National Congress / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) is a big tent multi party political alliance of several political parties in India led by the country's largest opposition party, the Indian National Congress.[2] The alliance is in opposition to the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the 2024 Indian general elections.[3] In the 2024 general election, the alliance won 234 seats,[lower-alpha 2] gaining more than 100 seats from dissolution, and the majority of seats in states like Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and West Bengal. The BJP lost its sole majority, yet successfully formed a government under Narendra Modi's leadership for the third consecutive term, thus failing all ambitions of the opposition to form the government.
