The MIM party leader and spokesperson, Waris Pathan, criticized the opposition united I.N.D.I.A for not inviting them to a meeting in Bengaluru. He was upset that the 26 opposition parties, who claim to be secular, see them as untouchable. Waris Pathan mentioned that AIMIM also wants to defeat BJP in the 2024 polls, but the united opposition is ignoring them. He pointed out that politicians like Nitish Kumar, Uddhav Thackeray, and Mehbooba Mufti have previously worked with the BJP. Additionally, he mentioned that Arvind Kejriwal, who criticized the Congress in the past, is now sitting with them in Bengaluru.
