Cracks in INDIA bloc? CPI(M) questions Rahul Gandhi, 'if he can hug PM Modi, why not Pinarayi Vijayan?'

Differences within the opposition INDIA bloc have once again come into the spotlight after CPI(M) General Secretary MA Baby publicly questioned the Congress leadership over its approach towards the Left party in Kerala. Speaking about the issue, Baby expressed disappointment over comments made by Congress leaders during election campaigns in Kerala. He said several Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, repeatedly accused the CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) of having a secret understanding with the BJP.
