A disagreement has emerged between senior Indian National Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Digvijaya Singh regarding the recent decision by Nitish Kumar to leave the INDIA bloc. Nitish Kumar, currently Chief Minister of Bihar, announced his alliance shift back to the National Democratic Alliance led by the Bharatiya Janata Party. Sources indicate a difference in opinion within the Congress party regarding the handling of Nitish Kumar's departure and the future of the INDIA opposition alliance. Sonia Gandhi reportedly expressed concern over the impact of the move, while Digvijaya Singh appeared more dismissive, suggesting it may not significantly harm the bloc's prospects. This internal friction highlights tensions within the INDIA alliance as it prepares to challenge the ruling BJP in the upcoming 2024 elections. The situation underscores the fragility of the opposition coalition and the challenges in maintaining unity amongst its diverse members in Bihar and across India.
