BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla sharply criticized the opposition INDIA bloc, claiming it lacks a coherent mission and vision, and is plagued by internal conflicts. Poonawalla pointed out that the alliance is marked by divisions, citing the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) as a key ally that has announced its boycott of an upcoming meeting. The DMK's decision follows feelings of betrayal by the Congress party after it supported the Tamil Nadu Vanniyar Kula Sangam (TVK) in recent assembly elections, despite having campaigned as part of the DMK-led alliance. Bihar BJP chief Sanjay Saraogi echoed Poonawalla's sentiments, stating that there is significant chaos and infighting within the opposition parties, contrasting this with the unity of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Poonawalla concluded that the INDIA bloc is merely an imagined coalition, lacking the necessary coordination to function effectively.
