<h1>Opposition leader says central committee meeting to tackle alleged vote theft, tariffs and pass resolutions despite criticism</h1> A state opposition party leader said a forthcoming central committee meeting in the state capital will address state, national and international issues including alleged 'vote theft' and tariffs imposed on India by a foreign administration. The leader rejected claims the out-of-capital venue was an electoral tactic, noting such meetings have been held elsewhere and that the extended session will include state chiefs and senior leaders to deliberate and pass resolutions. Rival coalition figures criticized the meeting as politically motivated ahead of assembly polls, while a regional ally said it would send a positive message for the broader opposition bloc.
