There is no hesitation in saying that the India or Indi alliance formed against BJP has now completely broken. Tejashwi Yadav himself has confirmed that the entire alliance was only for the Lok Sabha elections. The whole story of the breakup of this alliance is being linked to the Delhi elections, because here the Congress does not seem to be as harsh against the BJP as it is against the Aam Aadmi Party and Arvind Kejriwal. Is the truth only that due to Delhi elections, AAP-Congress separated and this Indi alliance or India broke or was the script of breaking of this alliance written in the same Patna, where the script of forming this alliance was written? And the one who broke this alliance is the same Lalu Yadav, who played the most important role in forming this alliance. After all, what is the real story of the entire opposition leaving Congress and joining AAP? Today we will tell you in detail.
The foundation of India that was formed for the Lok Sabha elections was laid by Nitish Kumar and Lalu Yadav strengthened it through his political experience. What happened was that when Nitish Kumar became the Chief Minister of the Grand Alliance after separating from BJP in 2022 and he met Lalu Yadav for the first time, there was a one line discussion. Then Lalu had said- ‘Now don’t go anywhere. Now after seeing the totality of you.
That means now you don’t go anywhere, now you have to see everything. Then Nitish agreed. Started efforts for opposition unity and Lalu Yadav went to Singapore for kidney transplant. In the absence of Lalu, Nitish Kumar himself met all the big leaders one by one. From Sitaram Yechury, from HD Kumaraswamy. From Mamata Banerjee, from Akhilesh Yadav, from Uddhav Thackeray, from Naveen Patnaik, from KCR, from Chandrababu Naidu… from every leader who was against BJP. Some people agreed. Some clearly refused, but the biggest leader who could not be met in this entire effort was Sonia Gandhi. When he could not talk to Nitish Kumar, he reached out to Lalu Yadav. By then Lalu Yadav had returned after undergoing kidney transplant. When Nitish Kumar met Lalu Yadav and Nitish told him the whole story, Lalu Yadav again said in his familiar style – There is no need to panic. Total recovery.
Meaning there is no need to panic, everything will be fine. And that’s exactly what happened. With the entry of Lalu Yadav, all the equations changed. Lalu Yadav took Nitish along and met Sonia Gandhi. An agreement was also reached between Mamata Banerjee’s TMC and Congress. Akhilesh Yadav, who was avoiding Congress, was called by Tejashwi saying that Papa is calling. Akhilesh reached Delhi to meet Lalu and the matter was resolved. The Congress, which was not ready to support Arvind Kejriwal at any cost, also agreed and together held a meeting of the Grand Alliance in Patna on 23rd July. A total of 26 opposition parties came together in that meeting. Despite being reluctant, Congress supported Kejriwal. And in this way, such a strong form of India was created, on which even Nitish Kumar’s separation did not make any difference and this alliance reduced BJP to 240 seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. However, India’s government could not be formed because Nitish left the party and Chandrababu Naidu also joined NDA.
Despite this, the opposition and especially the Congress got the psychological edge that it needed, but as soon as the state elections came… one by one all the parties started trying to sideline the Congress, because the entire alliance is based on regional satraps. Who had a strong hold in their respective states. However, even then, apart from the Aam Aadmi Party, no other party directly intervened. You left AAP for Haryana elections but Omar Abdullah remained with you in Jammu and Kashmir, Uddhav and Sharad remained with you in Maharashtra. Stayed with Hemant Soren in Jharkhand. And when their results came, it became clear that the performance of Congress in the Lok Sabha was not repeated in the states. In such a situation, the regional satraps made a new strategy and started moving away from Congress one by one.
There was a fight between AAP and Congress in Delhi, but now SP chief Akhilesh Yadav, Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena, Mamata Banerjee’s TMC are all unanimously supporting Arvind Kejriwal and saying that AAP will win in Delhi. . It is clear that all the regional parties are ready to support the Congress for the Centre, but when it comes to the state, they do not want to share even a single seat with the Congress. To avoid this seat sharing, many regional parties have left Congress in Delhi and joined AAP. Whatever parties are supporting you, be it Akhilesh Yadav, Uddhav Thackeray or Mamata Banerjee, they do not have to share seats in their respective states of UP, Maharashtra and Bengal, so your support is safe for them.
After Delhi, there are two more big elections in which Congress can demand seats from its allies. This demand of Congress is the real reason for the break of INDIA alliance. Actually, after Delhi Assembly, there are BMC elections in Maharashtra’s capital Mumbai. Mahavikas Aghadi is in opposition in Maharashtra, which apart from Congress, has Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena and Sharad Pawar’s NCP. Congress’s performance in the assembly has been very poor. She has won only three seats in Mumbai, despite this she will definitely demand a seat for herself in BMC. Congress will ask for the seat only when there is an alliance. In such a situation, by supporting AAP in Delhi itself, Uddhav wants to tell Congress that his demands in BMC are not going to be met.
Its real story is being written from where this whole story started. That place is Patna, the capital of Bihar, where assembly elections are being held later this year. Out of 243 seats in the Assembly, Congress wants to contest on at least 70 seats, but Lalu Yadav is not ready to give 70 seats to Congress at any cost because by giving 9 seats in the Lok Sabha also, Lalu has seen that the support base of Congress is What is. In such a situation, Lalu Yadav and his son Tejashwi, who were away from power by a few thousand votes in the last election, do not want to take any risk this time. Therefore, the alliance that Lalu had formed is probably now being broken at his own behest so that Congress is not left in a position to make any deal in the Bihar assembly elections and Lalu keeps saying that he is with Congress.
Rest of the characters of this entire script are also in Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal. It is Mamata Banerjee herself who wants that the alliance should not last because if it does then she too will have to share seats with Congress in the assembly elections to be held next year and Mamata Banerjee would never want this to happen. Therefore, the story may be revolving around the Delhi Assembly that the India Bloc parties have left the Congress and joined the AAP, but the real story is of Patna, Mumbai and Kolkata, in which the Congress is trying to strengthen the regional satraps. It is important to be weak. This entire exercise is only for this and nothing else.
