Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Friday said it was the responsibility of the Congress to keep the INDIA bloc intact as it was the largest party in the opposition alliance.
Raut’s statement came in the backdrop of Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s remarks expressing dismay over the lack of clarity on INDIA bloc leadership and agenda, and saying the alliance should be wound up if it was meant only for the 2024 parliamentary elections.
“If the alliance partners feel the INDIA bloc was only for the Lok Sabha polls and doesn’t exist now, the Congress is to be blamed (for this situation). There has been no communication, or dialogue (among constituents). We fought the Lok Sabha elections (together) and got good results. There should have been a meeting (of INDIA) to chalk out plans and it was the Congress’s responsibility to take initiative in this regard,” he asserted.
