Indian Opposition Alliance I.N.D.I.A. Faces Infighting Ahead of Assembly Elections

New Delhi: In the run-up to the next assembly elections, the opposition's grand alliance I.N.D.I.A. Infighting within the bloc is at its peak. Congress is increasingly at loggerheads with allies, especially in states where it is trying to regain lost ground. After its run-ins with the Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi and regional parties in Bihar, the Congress has now begun to press the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu for seat-sharing. On the other hand, Kerala is on the boil with Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi severely accusing Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and the CPI (M) of being the "B-team of the BJP." The parties that stand together in Parliament are each other's arch-rivals on the ground. The Congress leadership has upped the ante against the Left parties in the hope of wresting power. Rahul Gandhi has questioned why no action is being taken against the Kerala chief minister if opposition leaders are arrested.
