Tensions Rise in INDIA Opposition Bloc as Key Allies Refuse to Join 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra'

Congress scrambles to secure seat-sharing deals as bloc faces potential collapse.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will not join the Congress' 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' when it enters their respective states, indicating tension within the INDIA opposition bloc.
Banerjee has cut ties with the bloc and is reviewing her party's membership, while Kumar is upset by delays to seat-sharing talks for the Lok Sabha poll.
The Congress' 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' has been re-routed to pass quickly through Bengal before it enters neighbouring Bihar, seen as a reaction to Banerjee's decision.
The Congress is scrambling to convince allies, including the Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab and Delhi, and the Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh, to reach seat-sharing deals for the Lok Sabha election.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra entered West Bengal, with Gandhi stating that the opposition INDIA bloc will fight against injustice across the country.
