NEW DELHI: (May 15) Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram on Thursday voiced concerns about the INDIA bloc, saying he was not sure if the opposition alliance was still intact.
Speaking at the launch of Salman Khurshid and Mritunjay Singh Yadav’s book “Contesting Democratic Deficit”, Chidambaram also said he felt that it showed at the seams that the alliance was frayed.
“The future (of INDIA bloc) is not so bright, as Mritunjay Singh Yadav said. He seems to feel that the alliance is still intact, but I am not sure. It is only Salman (Khurshid) who can answer because he was part of the negotiating team for the INDIA bloc. If the alliance is totally intact, I will be very happy. But it shows at the seams that it is frayed,” Chidambaram, a Rajya Sabha MP, said. PTI
