BJP Seizes on INDIA Bloc’s SIR Rift, Calls Opposition Alliance Fragmented

The BJP on Monday intensified its attack on the INDIA bloc over the Special Intensive Revision controversy, with Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan alleging that the opposition alliance had already “fallen apart” before its planned meeting on the issue. He pointed to the absence of key regional leaders, including Akhilesh Yadav, M.K. Stalin and Arvind Kejriwal, as evidence of widening coordination gaps within the bloc. The remarks sharpen the political contest around the SIR exercise, turning a procedural electoral issue into a fresh test of opposition unity.
