BJP Criticizes INDIA Bloc: Claims Confusion Ahead of Key Elections

BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla criticized the INDIA bloc for lacking vision in upcoming assembly elections in Maharashtra and Jharkhand, alleging internal discord. He highlighted smooth operations in BJP's ticket distribution. Concurrently, seat-sharing discussions are ongoing within the Maha Vikas Aghadi, with an announcement anticipated shortly.

In the run-up to critical assembly elections in Jharkhand and Maharashtra, Bharatiya Janata Party's national spokesperson, Shehzad Poonawalla, has accused the INDIA bloc of presenting 'no vision' and fostering confusion. He contended that internal issues plague the Maha Vikas Aghadi, while highlighting the seamless ticket distribution among NDA allies.

Speaking to ANI, Poonawalla remarked that the INDIA alliance lacks clarity in Maharashtra and Jharkhand, alleging discord among its constituents. In contrast, BJP has smoothly managed candidate selection, with the first list for Jharkhand already announced. Concerns from RJD about seat-sharing spotlight issues in places like Jammu, Punjab, and Haryana.

Amid these developments, Congress is engaged in seat-sharing negotiations within the Maha Vikas Aghadi, with an announcement imminent, according to leader Ramesh Chennithala. Meanwhile, speculation surrounds Priyanka Gandhi's candidacy for Wayanad by-elections, prompting Poonawalla to demand an apology from Rahul Gandhi, as Congress speeds towards upcoming polls in Kerala.
