The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) on Tuesday asserted it will contest the 2024 Lok Sabha polls under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and that he will return to the helm for a third straight term with a “huge majority”.

On a day 26 opposition parties held their conclave in Bengaluru to take on the ruling alliance, the BJP held a grand show of strength of its allies who lauded the country’s development and expressed faith in Modi’s leadership in a resolution passed at their get-together.

Thirty-nine parties attended the NDA meeting here, claiming that the opposition is faced with a crisis of identity and relevance. “Today, the opposition is confused and disoriented,” their resolution said.
