“The (INDIA) alliance was not politically viable in Bengal because the CPM and Congress are contesting against TMC,” said West Bengal BJP chief Sukanta Majumdar.

The BJP hit out Wednesday at what seemed to be an INDIA bloc threatening to unravel, calling West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee’s announcement that her party Trinamool Congress would go alone in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in the state a “natural” result of an “unholy alliance.”

“It is an unholy attempt for an unholy alliance, and its fate was destined. Keeping ‘INDIA’ as the name doesn’t bring the spirit of India,” Punjab BJP chief Sunil Jakhar told PTI after Mamata’s statement. Significantly, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann also announced that AAP would contest alone in the state. However, this drew no immediate reaction from the BJP. Party spokespersons in Delhi also did not respond to messages seeking reactions.

At a press conference in Delhi, Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) chief and the party’s Bengaluru South MP Tejaswi Surya said, “The INDI alliance is an unnatural alliance like a snake and mongoose. So it is dying a natural death. In Bengal, TMC, CPM and Congress keep fighting. In Kerala, the Left and Congress keep fighting. AAP and the Congress fight in Punjab and Delhi. It is a non-starter of an alliance.”

“The (INDIA) alliance was not politically viable in Bengal because the CPM and Congress are contesting against TMC,” said West Bengal BJP chief Sukanta Majumdar. “INDI alliance has broken apart. Without leaders like Mamata Banerjee, Nitish Kumar and Akhilesh Yadav, what is INDIA, and this bickering is against the policy and attitude of the Congress. It is a big setback for the Congress,” former Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai told PTI.
