BJP MLA Asishrao Deshmukh on Friday said that Congress leader P Chidambaram revealed the truth of the political situation saying that the future of INDIA alliance is not so bright.

According to reports by ANI, Deshmukh said, “Chidambaram is an experienced leader and expressed the truth of the situation. Sharad Pawar is trying to merge his party with the party of his nephew Ajit Pawar. The same is true with Uddhav Thackeray. The rest of their (INDIA bloc) supportive parties are separating one by one." 


Reacting to the remarks of Chidambaram, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Kerala president of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) called the opposition alliance a ‘motley collection of parties’ and their alliance is formed only for their ‘love for corruption’.


Rajeev Chandrasekhar posted on X: The BJP is a formidable party because it believes in strong values or principles of India First and cares for all Indians - and so has the support of most Indians. INDIA alliance is a motley collection of parties, brought together by only their love for corruption and exploitation and fear or hatred of Narendra Modi ji.

Earlier, Chidambaram voiced concerns about the future of the INDIA bloc, suggesting that it is breaking apart. However, he also mentioned that, with time, the alliance could still be saved.

"The future is not so bright as Mritunjay Singh Yadav said. He seemed to feel that the INDIA alliance was still intact. I'm not sure. Only Salman can answer, because he was part of the negotiating team for the INDIA alliance. If the INDIA alliance is intact, I'm very, very happy. But it shows, it's at the seams, it's frayed. It can be put together, there's still time," Chidambaram said.

Chidambaram was speaking during a book launch of ‘Contesting Democratic Deficit: An inside story of the 2024 elections.’ This book is written by Salman Khurshid and Mritunjay Singh Yadav at the India International Centre in the national capital. He also described BJP as not merely as a political party, but as an extraordinarily well-organized political force. He emphasized that to counter its dominance, the BJP must be challenged on multiple fronts.

"In my experience and reading of history, there has been no political party as formidably organised as the BJP. In every department, it's formidable. It's not another political party. It's a machine behind which it's a machine, and the two machines control all the machinery of India, from the Election Commission of India to the lowest police station in India; they are able to control or sometimes capture these institutions. This is a formidable missionary you're fighting. It's not another political party. This formidable missionary must be fought on all fronts," he said.
