INDIA bloc leaders give call for Opposition unity after Congress skips INLD rally

Constituents of the Opposition INDIA bloc on Monday sought “complete unity” of allies after the Congress skipped the Indian National Lok Dal’s (INLD) ‘Samman Diwas Samaroh’ rally in Haryana’s Kaithal.

INLD secretary general Abhay Chautala had called on Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge two days ago in Delhi to invite him for the rally, which was held to coincide with the 110th birth anniversary of INLD founder Chaudhary Devi Lal. The party, unlike the previous year, had also invited the Aam Aadmi Party, which also chose to skip the event.

In a veiled attack on the Congress, Janata Dal (United) leader K.C. Tyagi said “big things can’t be accomplished with a small heart” and the Bharatiya Janata Party cannot be defeated without “complete unity”.
