I.N.D.I. Alliance

Arvind Kejriwal announced that his party would contest all 90 assembly seats in Haryana on its own, but will be part of INDIA bloc for Lok Sabha polls

Because of Rahul Gandhi's remarks, the I.N.D.I. alliance finds itself in political turmoil, witnessing a breakdown in seat-sharing negotiations.

Uttar Pradesh unit of the Congress party has not accepted the deal, adding that it is not the Congress’ decision but rather taken by Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav. 

Internal strife, a lack of a common strategy and prioritisation of selfish interests have plagued opposition alliance prior to the Lok Sabha poll.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in a rally claimed that just like Karpoori Thakur he never promoted his family in politics.

Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann claimed that the party will fight all the 13 LS seats in the state alone and not ally with the Congress.

On Saturday (20th January), Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury hit out at Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee and called her an 'opportunist.'

Jagadguru Swami Rambhadracharya launched a stinging criticism against the opposition parties and political leaders who have announced not to attend the major event. Slamming the opposition I.N.D.I. bloc, he recalled the old Hindi adage saying, "Vinaash Kaale Vipreet Buddhi".

TMC chief reportedly said in party workers' meeting, "If you all fight unitedly, you can defeat Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury."

The I.N.D.I. alliance partners including DMK, TMC, NCP, JDU-RJD, and CPI(M) as well as all Chief Ministers of Congress-ruled states have signed agreements with the Adani group in their respective states. Rahul Gandhi has been targeting the same company with baseless allegations.
