Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party has called a meeting of the allies of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) on Tuesday. 38 parties will participate in this. This number is 12 more than the opposition unity. On the other hand, it is the second day of unity meeting of opposition parties in Bengaluru. 26 parties are participating in this. The NDA meeting is being seen as a show of strength in front of opposition unity. Out of 38 parties of NDA, there are 13 parties which do not have a single seat in the Lok Sabha. Giving information about the meeting on Monday, BJP President JP Nadda described the UPA alliance as the clan of Pandora and said – it has no leader, no intention, no policy and no decision-making power. This is a bunch of corruption and scams. The NDA meeting will be held at Ashoka Hotel in Delhi from 5 pm. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will preside over this meeting.

The exercise of adding new parties after the departure of old allies In the last few years, the old allies of NDA have parted ways. These include Janata Dal (United) in Karnataka, Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena in Maharashtra. However, Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena, Ajit Pawar-led NCP, OP Rajbhar's Subhaspa in Uttar Pradesh, Jitan Ram Manjhi's Hindustani Awam Morcha in Bihar and Upendra Kushwaha's Rashtriya Lok Samata Party have joined hands with the BJP. Shinde and Ajit Pawar will come for the first time, trying to get votes by joining the parties of Bihar Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar will attend the NDA meeting from Maharashtra for the first time. Last year, Eknath Shinde rebelled against Uddhav Thackeray and formed the government with the BJP. He is also the CM of the state. In the same month there was rebellion in NCP and Sharad Pawar's nephew Ajit Pawar broke away from the party and joined the government with BJP-Shiv Sena along with 8 other MLAs. Ajit Pawar is also the Finance Minister of the state.

Apart from this, some small parties from the northeastern states can also attend the NDA meeting. These include Pradotya Vikram Manik Dev Verma of Tipra Motha Party from Tripura. Chirag Paswan will join as the sole successor of father Ram Vilas. BJP will try to help 4.5% of Bihar's Dusadhs and Paswans in the Lok Sabha elections through Chirag. BJP is hoping that with the joining of Hindustani Awam Morcha's Jitan Ram Manjhi, the votes of Mahadalits can also come in their court. With the arrival of Vikassheel Insaan Party's Mukesh Sahni, the votes of boatmen, fishermen and farmers can be in favor of BJP.
