Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on October 20 took a dig at the INDIA bloc after its constituents fielded candidates against each other in Assembly polls, saying the Opposition grouping is driven by the motto of "friendship in Delhi and wrestling in States".
INDIA members — the Congress, the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) — have separately announced candidates for the November 17 Assembly polls in Madhya Pradesh, clearly indicating the bloc is not working at State-level.
Upset with the Congress for not conceding any seat so far for the SP in Madhya Pradesh, its president chief Akhilesh Yadav on October 19 hinted that the grand old party could get the same treatment from his outfit in Uttar Pradesh.
