Opposition parties promise to join forces for 2024 elections in India.

Fifteen opposition parties, including Congress, Janata Dal (United), Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Trinamool Congress, AAP, DMK, NCP, and others, met in Patna to forge a common front in "national interest" and decided to initiate talks on seat-sharing for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. However, AAP struck a discordant note and said it would be difficult for them to participate in future meetings of like-minded parties where Congress is a participant unless the latter pledges to vote against the Delhi ordinance in Rajya Sabha. The next meeting will be held in Shimla next month.
