According to party sources, the senior leaders discussed the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc’s future strategy. The source said that the leaders also discussed the current political situation and the road ahead for the alliance, which has been formed to take on the ruling BJP at the center in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

The source said that they also discussed plans for the next meeting of the INDIA bloc. Later in the day, the Election Commission of India (ECI) will hear the pleas by the Sharad Pawar faction and Ajit Pawar-led faction of NCP over claims on the party name and symbol. Earlier in July this year, Ajit Pawar had approached the poll panel staking claim to the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the party symbol amid a feud between the two factions.

Later, the poll panel wrote to both factions of the party acknowledging the split and also directed both to share documents, submitted to the polling body, with each other. Today is the first hearing of the case before ECI.
