INDIA bloc stares at existential crisis after latest setback

The Hindu  

Just five months after the general election, in which the INDIA bloc won 30 of the 48 seats in Maharashtra and contributed to the BJP’s reduced tally in the Lok Sabha, the Assembly election results announced on Saturday has thrown the alliance into an existential crisis. The INDIA bloc has not had a meeting since the Lok Sabha results and its leaders haven’t appeared on a common platform. Communist Party of India Polit Bureau and Central Committee coordinator Prakash Karat said that the focus had changed in Maharashtra since the Lok Sabha election, which did not reflect in the Opposition’s campaign. We do not have an electoral alliance with any party in the bloc, so this is not a question we need to answer”, Derek O’Brien, Trinamool leader in the Rajya Sabha said.
