Prakash Ambedkar shakes up Maha Vikas Aghadi; rebukes Congress leadership

India TV News  

The national president of Vanchit Bahujan Aaghadi, Prakash Ambedkar, directed a scathing criticism towards Congress, aiming at Maharashtra Pradesh Adhyaksh Nana Patole, through a written letter. While Maharashtra Congress in-charge Ramesh Chennithala announced the inclusion of the Bahujan Aghadi in the Maha Vikas Aghadi on January 23, Ambedkar received a letter from Nana Patole suggesting otherwise. Ambedkar insists on signatures from key leaders Prakash Ambedkar emphasised the need for signatures on the letter from Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, or Ramesh Chennithala for Bahujan Aghadi to consider participating in the MVA meeting. The letter highlighted contradictory signals from Congress leaders, with Ramesh Chennithala announcing the inclusion of Bahujan Aghadi in Maha Vikas Aghadi, while Patole's letter suggested otherwise. In a surprising turn of events, Prakash Ambedkar's letter added an unexpected twist to the Maha Vikas Aghadi dynamics, casting doubt on the unity within the alliance.
