As 21 members of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance — INDIA — embarked on a two-day trip to Manipur, the third meeting of the Opposition bloc scheduled for August 25-26 in Mumbai appears uncertain, as the majority of opposition leaders are unavailable on those dates. According to a PTI report citing sources, the meeting may be postponed because the alliance desires the presence of all its leaders.
Patna hosted the first meeting of the opposition organisations. At the second meeting in Bengaluru, the opposition bloc was given an official moniker, and 27 parties joined the coalition.
The first significant step taken by INDIA was the introduction of a no-confidence motion in the Lok Sabha by the Congress. Despite the fact that the no-confidence motion will have no effect on the NDA government due to its overwhelming majority, India wishes to compel PM Modi to address the Manipur violence in Parliament.
During August 25-26, Congress, NCP (Sharad Pawar), and Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) leaders in Mumbai have rallies to attend.

Doubt again over Sharad Pawar
Since Sharad Pawar and Ajit Pawar’s split from the Nationalist Congress Party, rumours abound regarding Sharad Pawar’s next political move. Last time, Sharad Pawar skipped the first day of the meeting, prompting initial rumours that he would do so again.
This time, Sharad Pawar will share the stage with Prime Minister Modi on August 1 in Pune.
