The new moniker for the Opposition alliance, INDIA, made its debut in the Monsoon Session of Parliament, both as nomenclature and as a working system for parliamentary solidarity, with the NDA’s response to it being calibrated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi both in closed door meetings with NDA MPs and during his speech on the no-confidence motion moved against his government by the Opposition.
Message to NDA
Throughout the Monsoon Session of Parliament, NDA MPs divided into region-wise clusters of 30-35 members met with Mr. Modi and senior members of the Union Cabinet, to work out a cohesion in terms of messaging in the 38-member alliance. In fact, on the last day of the Monsoon Session the BJP’s media cell organised a workshop for NDA MPs for the same purpose.
