The INDIA bloc is intact despite Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's "somersault" and Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee deciding to be Mamata Banerjee, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has said, rejecting as "hollow" Prime Minister Narendra Modi's pitch against the Opposition on corruption.
In an interaction with editors of the Press Trust of India at the news agency's headquarters here, Mr. Ramesh also said the Opposition will unitedly cross the halfway mark of 272 in the elections, and oust the BJP from power.
