Fissures between the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) constituents came to the fore again, as Punjab Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Bhagwant Mann on January 1 took a dig at the Congress, calling it “a thing of the past” in the State and Delhi.
“In Punjab and Delhi, a mother can narrate the smallest story in the world to her child: ‘Ek thi Congress’ (once there was a Congress),” Mr. Mann told reporters here, in response to a question on the Punjab Congress’ reluctance to join hands with AAP’s State unit for the 2024 general election.
On talks among the INDIA bloc parties over seat sharing in Punjab, he said the matter would be deliberated in the alliance’s meeting. He said the parties are fighting for the country, and if the Constitution is saved, everything else shall exist.
