Union minister jabs Congress over INDIA bloc rift
Union minister anurag thakur has mocked congress for a schism in the india bloc, claiming that some individuals have failed to conduct "nyay (justice) within their own alliance". His words come amid a political crisis in bihar, where nitish kumar is expected to abandon the BJP-led nda and create a new government. "Some people couldn't even do justice within their own alliance, which is why this (rift) is happening in one state after another," anurag thakur told the PTI news agency.
Rahul gandhi has frequently stated that the Congress's 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' is the grand old party's attempt to bring justice to the country. Rifts in the Opposition-led india coalition surfaced earlier this week when trinamool congress supremo and West bengal Chief minister mamata banerjee, a major member of the bloc, stated that her party will run alone in the state in the upcoming lok sabha elections.
Meanwhile, nitish kumar is dissatisfied with the india alliance and is pondering a return to the BJP-led NDA. The Janata Dal (United) president is reportedly dissatisfied with the india bloc's failed seat-sharing discussions in bihar and other states where regional parties have joined the massive coalition. The bihar Chief minister also feels that, with the lok sabha polls coming, Congress's 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra', led by mp Rahul gandhi, is only for the advantage of the grand old party and not the alliance.
Mamata Banerjee also cited unsuccessful seat-sharing discussions with the congress as a reason for contesting all 42 seats in West Bengal's lok sabha elections in 2024. She claimed that whatever offering the trinamool congress had made, the grand old party "refused all".
The trinamool congress allegedly gave congress only two seats, causing discontent among the india alliance members. mamata banerjee, frustrated with the Congress' lack of clarity and internal criticism, determined that her party will run for all 42 seats in Bengal.
Congress has sought to ameliorate the situation by lowering tensions. On Friday, party insiders told india Today that they are monitoring the bihar political scenario and that Nitish Kumar's return to the bjp will not be simple.
Rahul gandhi attempted to ease tensions following mamata Banerjee's declaration, but the West bengal Chief minister stood firm in her decision.
In an exclusive interview with india Today on Friday, Samajwadi party supremo akhilesh yadav argued the congress lacked "enthusiasm" and should have moved forward during rifts within the india alliance. He further stated that nitish kumar might have been prime minister had he remained with the big alliance.
