Shivraj Singh Chouhan Criticizes I.N.D.I.A Bloc Over Rahul Gandhi's Leadership and Meeting AttendancePreviousNext

Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan criticized the I.N.D.I.A bloc, alleging its members do not accept Rahul Gandhi as their leader, citing absences from a recent meeting. He claimed even Congress leaders question Gandhi's leadership and pointed to the alliance's internal divisions. Chouhan also emphasized the importance of maintaining a clean voter list for democracy and dismissed opposition allegations of vote theft. The DMK, AAP, and Samajwadi Party representatives reportedly skipped or limited participation in the meeting for various reasons.
