Ahead of the INDIA bloc meeting in New Delhi, West Bengal Minister Dilip Ghosh criticized the alliance as 'non-existent,' asserting that Mamata Banerjee, the chief of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), is compelled to attend due to the decline of her party following its electoral defeat. Ghosh pointed out that Banerjee's party members are inactive, indicating a collapse in TMC's influence. The West Bengal BJP president, Samik Bhattacharya, echoed these sentiments, questioning the unity of the INDIA bloc, particularly highlighting the rivalry between TMC and Congress during elections. This meeting marks the first gathering of the bloc since TMC's loss in the West Bengal assembly elections. Meanwhile, the absence of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) from the meeting reflects ongoing internal disputes, particularly over Congress's actions in Tamil Nadu. Despite this, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh asserted that 23 parties will attend the meeting, emphasizing their collective opposition to the Modi government's policies.
