New Delhi: Rashtriya Lok Dal leader Malook Nagar on Sunday lashed out at the INDIA bloc saying that the alliance had several differences with its allies since it was formed and all of them have rejected Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha.
He further hit out at the Congress party, which he said did not have a president for three years as it lacked leadership.
Speaking to ANI, Malook Nagar said, "The day the INDI bloc was formed, they had differences with Nitish Kumar in Bihar, Mamata in West Bengal, Kejriwal in Delhi and Punjab, and Akhilesh Yadav in MP, Haryana, and Maharashtra. All of them have rejected the LoP.... Congress has no leadership that's why they hadn't had any party President for three years. They couldn't even give respect to leaders in 'so-called' INDIA bloc.... This has to happen with them."
Nagar's remarks came after Samajwadi Party pulled out of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance on Saturday. The head of the party's Maharashtra chapter Abu Azmi expressed dissatisfaction with the "communal remarks" made by Shiv Sena (UBT) to pull out from the Aghadi alliance.
Azmi said, "Samajwadi Party was, is and will always be against communalism. SP leaves Maha Vikas Aghadi because of Shiv Sena (UBT)"
Azmi had previoulsy expressed dissatisfaction with the MVA leaders.
"They (Uddhav Sena) used to say that they have become secular, and they made an alliance with Congress, Sharadpawar, SP, now that they had lost so they are expressing this anger and saying the same things they used to say before. I believe that the MVA cannot be sustained like this," Azmi told ANI.
He criticised the alliance for a lack of coordination with other parties during the assembly elections. "We were not contacted during ticket distribution, there was no coordination whatsoever during elections," Azmi told ANI.
He also said that if there is a demand from the people to remove EVMs for polling, it should be done. "I also suggest that to remove the doubts among the people, then for once to remove any doubt, on the will of the people the EVMs should be removed," he added.
Azmi also did not join in with other Opposition MLAs in boycotting the oath-taking ceremony during the special session of the Maharashtra Assembly held earlier on Saturday, saying that he has taken his oath.
