By Ritika Jain The monsoon session of Parliament that begins Thursday will test the unity and strength of the newly formed Indian National Democratic Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) – an alliance of 26 opposition parties. In the run-up to General Elections 2024, the real litmus test of the opposition’s unity and its ability to go up against the BJP will depend on whether it is able to defeat the passage of the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023 in the Rajya Sabha.
