NDTV
The four-hour session, held at the official residence of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, saw high drama, with the Congress -- which refuses to commit itself -- reading out a 'rap sheet' of AAP.
The much-hyped Patna meeting on which opposition's hopes for 2024 are riding, hit an impasse today over Aam Aadmi Party's insistence on unanimous support over Delhi bureaucrats issue. The four-hour session, held at the official residence of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, saw high drama, with the Congress -- which refuses to commit itself -- reading out a 'rap sheet' of AAP.
The two parties have been at loggerheads for years, and with AAP growing at the cost of Congress in Gujarat, Punjab and other states, many leaders of the Grand Old Party are not too keen to sign up to help it.
AAP has dug in its heels, declaring that it would not be part of the united opposition unless Congress publicly opposes the Centre's executive order taking away the control over bureaucrats in Delhi. It wanted the Congress to spell out its stand at today's meeting.
The Congress hit out at AAP's "either-or" stance. Party chief Mallikarjun Kharge read out several instances of AAP's provocative statements against Congress, sources said.
