New Delhi. The first meeting of the Coordination Committee of the opposition alliance India is going to be held in the national capital Delhi. This meeting will start at 4 pm today. It is expected that in this special meeting the seat sharing formula will be discussed and the time limit will be fixed for the state agreement between all the constituent parties of the alliance. So that the alliance’s plans can gain speed for the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The coordination panel meeting will be held at the house of Nationalist Congress Party leader Sharad Pawar in New Delhi.
Seat distribution may be based on the performance of constituent parties in the last elections.
The block leaders said that the seat sharing formula will be based on the performance of the parties in the previous elections. Also, seats will be distributed based on the strength of the parties in the states. Let us tell you that the alliance said in a statement on September 1, “The seat-sharing arrangement in various states will be started immediately and the transaction will be concluded as soon as possible in a cooperative spirit.”
Many important issues will be discussed in the meeting
At least four stalwarts, Chief Ministers Mamata Banerjee, Arvind Kejriwal and Nitish Kumar as well as Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Lalu Yadav, are believed to have discussed the seats urgently during that Mumbai meeting too, citing the proximity of the elections. Had put pressure on. It is expected that Lok Sabha elections will be held in April-May next year. Some proposals of the other four panels on campaign, social media, research and media will also be discussed and approved in the meeting. These panels met over the past few weeks and have finalized several proposals, especially on campaign strategies, and sent them to the Coordination Committee.
Seat agreement will be discussed on strict deadline
The two leaders said the panel will discuss the strict timeline for sealing the seat deal, which is crucial for the alliance to take on the Bharatiya Janata Party in the parliamentary elections. According to reports, for seat-sharing, members of the bloc will try to develop a set of principles. One of these could be the performance of the parties in the last general elections. But this is likely to set a benchmark for discussion rather than being a definitive principle.
An unbalanced formula may be created on seat sharing in Delhi-West Bengal.
A leader said, “If one strictly looks at the performance of parties in the elections, it could lead to a very unbalanced formula in Delhi or West Bengal. Therefore, some flexibility is required.” For example, in Delhi and West Bengal, Congress has no seats in the assembly.
