A sense of urgency gripped the meeting of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) in Mumbai on Thursday as leaders from 28 opposition parties attempted to hammer out strategies for poll preparations for the first time, hours after the government announced a surprise special session of Parliament in two weeks. At the meeting, Mamata Banerjee suggested that the alliance should identify an agenda and start the poll campaign by announcing those issues from Rajghat on October 2. Nitish Kumar and Uddhav Thackeray too, advised leaders to act fast as they speculated that the elections might take place early.
