The Congress-led INDIA bloc has been going through inside rifts, be it in Punjab, West Bengal or Kerala. Though they shared the stage through the March 31 rally in Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan, the seat-sharing deal in these three states has fallen aside. Now, Prime Minister Narendra Modi claimed that there are rifts inside the opposition bloc over identify of their PM candidate. Addressing a rally in Bihar’s Nawada, PM Modi stated that one of many INDI alliance leaders has refused to take part in rallies till his identify is said as a PM candidate. However, the PM didn’t reveal the identification of the chief.
“Some people told this to me in Delhi yesterday. Since I have been witnessing a cold approach in the INDIA bloc’s campaign in this election, I enquired about it. One of their leaders even remarked that their people are not active. I was told that a storm has been brewing within the top leadership of the INDI alliance for the last fortnight,” stated PM Modi.
