During a media interaction today in Delhi, (JDU) leader Sanjay Kumar Jha said, "The CM (Nitish Kumar) wanted the INDIA alliance convenor should be from Congress only."
Earlier, on Thursday, senior Congress leader TS Singh Deo questioned the timing of the 'Pran Patishtha' ceremony at the grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya, close to the upcoming Lok Sabha elections
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said, "Chairman said the insult that happened was caste-based and that farmers were also insulted, but my caste is also always attacked and I don't say anything."
Evidently, Kharge admitted that even as the 2024 elections are just months away, there is no consensus among the I.N.D.I.Alliance partners regarding a PM candidate and there is a risk of the coalition breaking apart over the issue.
