The opposition front, after much deliberation, decided to name the newly formed coalition Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance or INDIA, at a 26-party meet in Bengaluru on July 18.
After severely criticising the opposition bloc for naming its alliance INDIA, the BJP has declared today that it will call it by its old name - UPA, sources said. "I.N.D.I.A. is the opposition's attempt to portray a clean image to the public by associating itself with the name of the country," the sources said, adding the BJP will continue to expose them, especially the Congress, addressing them with their old name.

The BJP has been opposing the name from the start, claiming the new branding has been done so that it can hide the opposition's many scams of the past.
