The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is the target of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA), a coalition of 26 opposition parties, which has significantly strengthened its different working bodies. The coalition had earlier announced a 14-member central coordination committee and a 19-member campaign committee during a two-day conference in Mumbai.

They join the ranks of individuals such as Iltija Mehbooba (PDP), Supriya Srinate (INC), Sumit Sharma (RJD), Ashish Yadav (SP), Rajeev Nigam (SP), Raghav Chaddha (AAP), and Avindani (JMM).

Congress politician Pawan Khera and DMK leader Kanimozhi Karunanidhi have joined the working committee focusing on the media. They join established figures like Jairam Ramesh (INC), Manoj Jha (RJD), Arvind Sawant (Shiv Sena-UBT), Jitendra Ahwad (NCP), Raghav Chaddha (AAP), Rajiv Ranjan (JD-U), Pranjal (CPI-M), Ashish Yadav (SP), Supriyo Bhattacharya (JMM), Alok Kumar (JMM), Manish Kumar (JD-U), Rajeev Nigam (SP), Bhalchandran Kango (CPI), and others.

Furthermore, A Raja, a DMK leader, has been incorporated into the working group for research, joining the ranks of Amitabh Dubey (INC), Subodh Mehta (RJD), Priyanka Chaturvedi (Shiv Sena-UBT), Vandana Chavan (NCP), KC Tyagi (JD-U), Sudivya Kumar Sonu (JMM), Jasmine Shah (AAP), Alok Ranjan (SP), Imran Nabi Dar (NC), and more.
