Opposition parties may have come together and formed INDIA alliance to defeat Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Lok Sabha elections, but they are not able to maintain mutual coordination. Along with seat sharing and election issues, confusion is clearly visible between the leaders of Congress and INDIA alliance regarding G-20, whether it is the issue of attending the dinner invited by President Draupadi Murmu or the issue of G-20. The question of 20 being successful. INDIA alliance does not seem to be standing together.
The party had openly expressed its displeasure over Congress national president and leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge not being invited to the G-20 conference. Saying that it will take care of the national interest, Congress has decided that anyone who is invited can go. Although the reason behind this was that Congress or INDIA alliance should not be seen boycotting such a function, but the opposite happened.
Question on Chief Ministers attending dinner
Congress' Himachal Pradesh CM Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren and Bihar CM Nitish Kumar attended the dinner. All these Chief Ministers and their parties are part of the opposition alliance INDIA. In such a situation, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Choudhary brought shame to the INDIA alliance by raising questions on Mamata Banerjee and Bihar Congress attending the dinner party of Nitish Kumar at the G-20.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was present at the G-20 along with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. On this, Adhir Ranjan said that I wonder what motivated her (Mamata Banerjee) to go to Delhi to attend the dinner with these leaders. Is there any other reason behind his attending this occasion?
TMC counterattacks on Adhir's statement
He also asked whether this would not weaken his stand against the Narendra Modi government. TMC retaliated on Adhir Ranjan's statement. TMC said that Mamata Banerjee is one of the key early architects of bringing the opposition alliance INDIA into existence and the Congress leader does not need to lecture her about some protocols to be followed from the administrative point of view.
At the same time, the INDIA alliance has put this issue on the back burner and is attacking the Modi government with the help of US President Joe Biden's statement on Vietnam after G-20. First Congress media in-charge Jairam Ramesh tweeted about this, then party leaders became aggressive on this issue.
Unity on Nehru's foreign policy
Congress General Secretary Tariq Anwar said that our Prime Minister Narendra Modi cannot hold a press conference, he would have given clarification if there was a joint press conference with President Biden. That's why it was not allowed to happen. Now Biden has raised questions regarding human rights, free press and communal harmony which are very serious.
In fact, from the beginning, Congress considers Nehru's foreign policy as ideal and says that no matter whose government it is, our foreign policy does not change, this is the specialty of the country. In such a situation, Delhi is considering the G-20 manifesto as successful. Many leaders including Shashi Tharoor and Nitish Kumar have praised it, but considering Biden's statement as an opportunity, Congress did not delay at all in cornering the Modi government.
