The conclave is scheduled to be held next week in Mumbai.
Congress leader Ashok Chavan, who heads the organising committee, said the agenda of the I-N-D-I-A meeting, scheduled to be held on August 31 and September 1, will be finalised by national leaders. Chavan expressed that the aim of the upcoming meeting is not seat-sharing but planning a strategy to take on the Bharatiya Janata Party.
"All issues like seat-sharing will be amicably resolved through discussions (in due course). If Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance can succeed in Maharashtra, it (such experiment) can happen in the country as well," Chavan said.
The review meeting was also attended by Milind Deora and Varsha Gaikwad from Congress, Sanjay Raut and Aaditya Thackeray from Shiv Sena (UBT), and Supriya Sule from NCP, among other MVA leaders.
The I-N-D-I-A bloc's first meeting was held in Patna in June and the second in Bengaluru last month. The I-N-D-I-An National Developmental Inclusive Alliance, known by its abbreviation I-N-D-I-A, is an opposition front announced by the leaders of 26 parties to contest the 2024 Lok Sabha elections to challenge the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
