Tuesday’s meeting included leaders from Janata Samajwadi Party, Loktantrik Samajwadi Party, Janamat Party, Janapragatisheel Party, Rashtriya Mukti Party, and Terai Madhes Loktantrik Party. Independent parliamentarian Amresh Kumar Singh also attended and expressed support for the alliance initiative.
