Sonia Gandhi's Memoir on Nitish Kumar's INDIA Bloc Exit Sparks Political Dispute
Sonia Gandhi's memoir alleges that Nitish Kumar was influenced by the BJP and sought to exit the Opposition INDIA bloc, describing his departure as planned. The JD(U) strongly disputes this, asserting Kumar was the main architect of the alliance and instrumental in uniting opposition parties, criticizing Gandhi's portrayal as misleading. The disagreement highlights differing views on the INDIA bloc's formation and Kumar's exit ahead of the 2024 elections, reflecting broader challenges within the opposition alliance.
