The BJP's mega show of strength in Delhi -- to be conducted parallelly with the Opposition's unity meet in Bengaluru -- will be attended by 38 parties, party chief JP Nadda announced on Monday. Though most of the 38 are smaller allies with pockets of influence and a few or no MPs, the figure far outstrips the 26-party tally announced earlier by the Congress -- a psychological advantage the ruling party hopes to deploy in the run-up to the general elections next year.
