Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram on Thursday hailed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), calling it “formidably organised" in every department. At the same time, Chidambaram also 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 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," Chidambaram said at the event.

 

“It is only Salman (Khurshid) who can answer, because he was a part of the negotiating team for the INDIA bloc," he added.

“If the alliance is totally intact, I will be very happy, but it shows at the seams that it is frayed," Chidambaram said, adding that he hoped that the alliance can “still be put together, there’s still time".

The former Finance Minister also warned that the INDIA bloc was fighting against a “formidable machinery", which must be fought on all fronts.

“In my experience and my reading of history, there has been no political party so formidably organised as the BJP. It’s not just another political party. It’s a machine behind a machine, and the two machines control all the machineries in India.

“From the Election Commission to the lowest police station in the country, they (BJP) are able to control and sometimes capture these institutions. It is a formidable machinery, as much as can be allowed in a democracy," Chidambaram said.

His remarks at the book launch came as Khurshid and Yadav, in their book, reflect on the Congress’s revival efforts ahead of last year’s Lok Sabha elections.

The book also recounts how the Opposition parties rallied “to defend the idea of an inclusive, pluralistic India".

Chidambaram said that poll results have shown that no one can undermine elections in India, which “still remains an electoral democracy".

“You can interfere with elections in India, you can tinker with them, but you can’t get away with elections. You can’t have elections where the ruling party gets away with 98 per cent of the votes. That is not possible in India," Chidambaram said.

Indian Govt is planning to send multi party delegation actoss the world to discuss pakistan stance on terror ... and guess what

Shashi Tharoor has been selected to lead that group

in 1994 silar thing PVNR sent Vajpayee

on that UNHRC mission

 

Following Operation Sindoor, government sources told CNN-News18 that the possibility of sending a multi-party delegation to various foreign nations is being actively considered. The initiative- which aims to clearly articulate India’s stance on terrorism emanating from Pakistan to the international community- is likely to be headed by Congress leader Shashi Tharoor.
