‘Judega Bharat, Jeetega INDIA’

The third meeting of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) was held in Mumbai on August 31 and September 1, 2023 in Grand Hayatt hotel. The first meeting was held in Patna and the second meeting was held in Bangalore. The two-day meeting concluded successfully with the formation of four important committees to effectively carry forward the agenda of alliance and defeat the BJP in the 2024 general elections.The slogan “Judega Bharat,Jeetega INDIA” was appreciated by all and was the main theme of alliance.
The meeting noted that BJP is continuing the communal agenda of colonial period of divide and rule and to counter that Judega Bharat,Jeetega INDIA is a very effective slogan,which incidentally counters effectively the BJP agenda of calling the opposition alliance as anti- national.Hence BJP is rattled with every meeting of the alliance. It has therefore announced Rs 200 cooking gas subsidy and also declared a committee under the leadership of former president RamnathKovind to study and propose one time election for Parliament and assembly under the theme of ‘One Nation,One Election’.
All opposition parties have opposed this agenda. It is obvious that this agenda is being floated to divert the attention of people from burning problems like rising prices, unemployment and communal strides in Haryana and Manipur which reflected the incompetence of BJP rule and failure of BJP double engine theory.
The authoritarian, anti-federal and anti-constitutional agenda of BJP-RSS is being carried forward through the‘One Nation,One Election’ agenda. Communist Party of India general secretary D Raja accused the government of taking a unilateral decision without discussing with other political parties.
Most opposition leaders spoke in the meeting and expressed their resolve to fight unitedly and raised various issues of importance. A co-ordination committee along with a campaign committee and media and social media committee was formed and declared during the press conference which took place on September 1 after the meeting and was addressed by various leaders including UddhavThakare, Mallikarjun Kharage,Lalu Prasad, Nitish Kumar,Stalin and Rahul Gandhi. Leaders of all parties were present on the dais.
The meeting began with the adoption of a unanimous resolution congratulating ISRO and all our scientists and staff associated with successful Chandrayaan-3 project.Three more resolutions were also adopted. They are:
nTo contest the forthcoming LokSabha elections together as far as possible. The seat-sharing arrangements in different states will be initiated immediately and concluded at the earliest.
nTo organize public rallies at the earliest in different parts of the country on issues of public concern and importance.
nTo co-ordinate communications and media strategies and campaigns on the theme “Judega Bharat, Jeetega INDIA” in different languages.
The successful conclusion of the meet was possible because of excellent co ordination and arrangements made by UddhavThakarealong with Sena,NCP and Congress workers.
