"Congress More Interested In...": Nitish Kumar Jab Is Trouble For INDIA?
NDTV
Nitish Kumar is widely seen as one of the founding members of the INDIA bloc; in fact, it was he who sounded out senior opposition leaders on the prospect of uniting to defeat the ruling BJP.
Speculation over the future of the INDIA bloc ramped up Thursday after Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar blamed the Congress for lack of progress in preparing for the 2024 Lok Sabha election.
Mr Kumar said this is because the Congress - one of the group's biggest members and assigned the "leading role", according to the Bihar leader - is preoccupied with state polls; party-ruled Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh vote this month, as do Madhya Pradesh, Telangana and Mizoram.
Addressing a Communist Party of India rally in Patna, Nitish Kumar remarked with a chuckle, "We have been speaking to them... pushing them forward in INDIA alliance. But, of late, there has not been much progress on that front. The Congress seems to be more interested in the five assembly polls."
