News India Live, Digital Desk: Amid claims of opposition unity, big news is coming from within the ‘INDIA’ alliance. In the recently held alliance meeting, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was the target of left parties. If sources are to be believed, leftist leaders have raised serious questions on Rahul Gandhi’s working style regarding seat sharing and election strategy, which has put a question mark on the unity of the alliance.
What is the real root of the dispute?
During the meeting, the left parties expressed their displeasure that the attitude of Congress in Kerala and other states is very aggressive against them. Left leaders argue that if the aim is to defeat BJP at the Centre, then Congress will have to give more space to regional forces.
3 big things of the meeting:
Mathematics of seats: Left parties believe that Congress should reduce its stake in those states where regional parties are strong.
Rahul Gandhi’s leadership: Some leaders pointed out the lack of coordination between Rahul Gandhi’s ‘yatras’ and the grassroots alliance.
Kerala Factor: The impact of the infighting between LDF and UDF in Kerala is clearly visible on the national level alliance.
Is the alliance on the verge of breaking?
However, senior Congress leaders have tried to handle the situation and termed it as ‘democratic dialogue’. But political experts believe that if this tension between Rahul Gandhi and leftist parties does not reduce, then NDA can directly benefit from it in the upcoming elections.
