New Delhi : RLD national secretary Anupam Mishra claimed that the Congress-Samajwadi Party alliance in Uttar Pradesh is unlikely to survive and exists only “on paper”. If everything was fine between the two parties, senior Congress leader Nasimuddin Siddiqui would not have moved to the Samajwadi Party despite the two parties contesting elections together, he said.
Ahead of the INDIA bloc meeting, Congress MLC Nagaraj Yadav said the gathering was important as the country was grappling with inflation and several other challenges. “The country is facing a huge problem of price rise and many other issues. As a constructive opposition, it is our duty to come together and fight communal forces and control price rise,” he said.
Visuals from inside the INDIA bloc meeting at the Constitution Club in New Delhi showed Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee warmly embracing each other ahead of the start of the opposition alliance’s deliberations. Opening the INDIA bloc meeting in New Delhi, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said the opposition alliance must strengthen its unity to confront what he described as the Modi government’s misgovernance across political, economic, social and foreign policy fronts.
The Congress chief alleged that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise was depriving millions of people of their voting rights and accused the government of continuing attacks on the Constitution, misusing investigative agencies against political opponents and discriminating against non-BJP state governments. He also flagged rising prices, weak investment, growing private monopolies, difficulties faced by MSMEs, examination paper leaks and alleged atrocities against marginalised communities.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday accused the BJP-led Centre of undermining democratic institutions, saying the “assault on the Constitution continues unabated” and alleging that probe agencies were being “persistently used as tools to intimidate political opponents.” The Congress chief also raised concerns over unemployment and recruitment, saying the hopes and aspirations of lakhs of young people were being betrayed due to the “gross mismanagement” of the examination system.
