Key Points
The INDIA bloc, consisting of various political parties, is facing challenges as key members withdraw their support..
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has decided to leave the opposition alliance, while the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has chosen not to join the grand alliance in Punjab..
Additionally, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has rejected the Congress party's 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' and will contest the Lok Sabha elections independently..
Mamata Banerjee's refusal to participate in the east-west yatra and her denial of permission for Congress' public programs in West Bengal further exacerbated the instability..
While Congress remains optimistic about finalizing pre-poll agreements in Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, and Delhi, negotiations have not progressed smoothly even in states where the allies are part of existing coalitions..

16, Oct, 24India News: With Bihar CM Nitish Kumar turning his back on the opposition alliance and Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee cutting Congress and its 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' no slack as it enters West Bengal, India bloc appears precariously poised. The unspooling of the India bloc has been put in sharp relief by the JDU chief's U-turn and imminent exit from the alliance, and Mamata's announcement to go it alone in the Lok Sabha elections. The serious instability stemming from the eastern region - Mamata's recalcitrance and Nitish's U-turn - have created complications in the last stretch just when Congress and allies had hoped to seal seat-sharing and joint programmes and hit the campaign trail.
