After the meeting of the opposition in Patna, the capital of Bihar, the name of PDA Alliance came to the fore. PDA stands for Patriotic Democratic Alliance. However, this new name is yet to be discussed in the 2-day meeting to be held in Shimla. Now there is an uproar in the politics of Bihar regarding this new alliance. Another BJP is terming the opposition’s alliance PDA as a family-based democratic alliance, while the Congress has outright rejected any such alliance.
