Ahead of the meeting, Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam said, "When our first meeting was held in Patna, we were not aware of the details and what will be the name of the alliance. There were 16 parties there (in Patna), in the Bengaluru meeting the number increased to 26 and now we have 28 parties... Slowly all the parties with BJP will come under this INDIA alliance umbrella."
Hitting out at the I.N.D.I.A. alliance, Union Minister Arjun Munda said, "This group (INDIA alliance) is putting their energy to think about how to destabilise the country."
