Hurdles Ahead Of INDIA Bloc
Mamata Banerjee desperately needs the Congress party's support at the moment, but the support of the DMK and the Left parties at the national level is equally important for the Congress.
Following Stalin's defeat in Tamil Nadu, Congress immediately broke its two-decade-old alliance with the DMK in the state, supporting TVK leader Vijay as Chief Minister. Despite the DMK's Dravidian and anti-BJP politics, Congress considers the DMK close to the Opposition camp at the national level, but Stalin has expressed his displeasure by announcing his withdrawal from the INDIA meeting.
Similarly, the CPI(M) is upset over the allegations of top Congress leaders that the Left parties are in collusion with the BJP in Kerala and party general secretary MA Baby has recently written a letter to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge seeking clarification on this.
