Sonia Gandhi And Digvijaya Singh Clash Over Nitish Kumar's Exit
· India · India Today, Times of India, NDTV
Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Digvijaya Singh engaged in a sharp exchange at a Congress Working Committee meeting in New Delhi regarding Nitish Kumar's 2024 exit from the INDIA bloc. Singh argued that the opposition alliance should not have allowed the Bihar Chief Minister to leave, asserting the political situation would have been different had he stayed. Gandhi strongly rejected this view, stating she was grateful Kumar left on time because he was constantly looking for a way out and was controlled by the BJP. In January 2024, Kumar exited the Mahagathbandhan alliance in Bihar to form a new government with the BJP, taking oath as Chief Minister for a record ninth time. The dispute arose as the CWC discussed political strategy and its confrontation with the Election Commission over the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.
