Ahead of their next meeting scheduled for the second week of July in Shimla, the Opposition parties are trying to freeze the seat-sharing formula in at least States like Bihar, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Jharkhand where they already have an alliance.
According to informed sources, the talks have already begun at the State level. “A common candidate against the BJP, though desirable, is not possible in all the 543 seats. But what we can do is to seal the seat-sharing formula in the States where we have a fairly straightforward equation for the Lok Sabha 2024 elections,” a senior Opposition leader said.
