Clash before India alliance meeting
On the other hand, the opposition camp looks weak before the first meeting after the elections. Forget about showing full strength, an attempt is being seen before the meeting to hide the discord between the alliance which has become disliked in regional politics.

It has formed an alliance with TVK. Now, Congress is one of the partners in TVK’s ruling coalition in Tamil Nadu. DMK and Congress have broken relations since the elections. This time Stalin’s party also boycotted the meeting of the opposition alliance. At the same time, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has not had any special relations with Congress recently. That is why he is not attending the ‘India’ meeting.
CPI(M) also angry with Congress’s attitude
At the same time, during the Kerala elections, Congress had raised the theory of ‘compromise’ between CPI(M) and BJP. He had accused PM Modi of having a secret alliance with former Kerala Chief Minister and Left leader Pinarayi Vijayan. CPI(M) is unhappy with Congress regarding this matter. Recently, CPI(M) General Secretary MA Baby had written a letter to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge in this regard.
