Trinamool Split, Cracks In INDIA Bloc: Hardeep Puri Says Next Target Punjab

Hardeep Singh Puri, Union Minister, stated that the INDIA alliance is unraveling due to internal contradictions and party conflicts. He highlighted the Trinamool Congress's internal revolt, exemplified by the resignation of MP Sukhendu Sekhar Roy, citing corruption, political killings, and atrocities against women as reasons for his exit. Puri also criticized the AAP government in Punjab for fiscal irresponsibility, worsening law and order, and a deepening drug crisis. He predicted that the INDIA alliance will "stutter along," with more constituent parties drifting toward new formulations.
