Bengaluru/UNI: The Opposition meeting, which is underway at a private hotel in the city for the second day, is deliberating upon broadly six proposals including seat-sharing on a state-to-state basis and suggesting a name for the alliance.

Among the proposals for deliberations are setting up separate subcommittees for drafting a common agenda and communication points for the alliance for the 2024 general elections and chalking out a joint programme for parties, including rallies, conventions and agitations.

Other proposals for discussions are seat-sharing on a state-to-state basis, suggesting a name for the alliance, setting up a common secretariat for it, and discussing EVMs and suggesting reforms to the Election Commission.

Earlier on Tuesday, NCP chief Sharad Pawar arrived in Bengaluru to participate in the unity meeting. He was welcomed at the airport by Karnataka Minister MB Patil and other Congress leaders including RV Deshpande.

At the end of Day 1 of the Opposition unity meeting, Kharge said, "Well begun is half done!"

He said the like-minded Opposition parties will closely work together to foster an agenda of social justice, inclusive development and national welfare.

"We want to free the people of India from the autocratic and anti-people politics of hate, division, economic inequality and loot," Kharge said.

"We want an India which is governed by Constitutional principles of justice, liberty, equality and fraternity. We want an India which provides hope and faith to the weakest person. United We Stand, for this INDIA," he tweeted.
