After good show in Lok Sabha elections, differences among INDIA allies come to the fore

- PREETHA NAIR @ New Delhi

WHEN the INDIA bloc made a stunning comeback in the 2024 Lok Sabha election - the world's largest democratic exercise - political pundits compared it with the successful 1977 model of the Opposition parties coming together to dislodge Indira Gandhi.

Though the Opposition alliance ended up as runners-up in the fiercely fought electoral battle, their major accomplishment was denying the BJP the magic figure of 272 seats, needed to form the government.

The NDA alliance led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi came back to a third term in power with 292 seats.
