In a scathing critique, BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh dismissed the INDIA bloc as a coalition of corrupt leaders, declaring that public trust has irrevocably diminished. Chugh's remarks come in the wake of Congress leader P Chidambaram expressing skepticism over the alliance's durability.
Chidambaram, in a candid observation during a book release event, admitted that the INDIA bloc is 'frayed at the seams' but suggested it might still be salvaged. While discussing the complex nature of BJP's political machinery, he emphasized the necessity of confronting it on various fronts.
The discussion highlighted the significance of the 2029 elections, which Chidambaram described as a pivotal moment for India's democratic fabric. He urged opposition forces to challenge BJP's dominance to either rejuvenate democracy or risk an irreversible consolidation of power.
