The Janata Dal (United) accuses the Congress of engineering Nitish Kumar's departure from the INDIA bloc, attributing it to a leadership dispute. JD(U) leader KC Tyagi alleges that Mamata Banerjee was coerced into proposing Mallikarjun Kharge as the alliance's prime ministerial candidate, contrary to prior agreements of a leaderless coalition. Tyagi further criticizes Congress for prolonging seat-sharing discussions, citing internal tensions within the alliance. In response, Congress dismisses Kumar as a "chameleon" and attempts to downplay the significance of the INDIA bloc's disarray. The developments underscore growing rifts within the opposition alliance ahead of crucial elections.
