Rahul Gandhi's public INDIA bloc speech irks allies over mutual trust

Rahul Gandhi's decision to publicly release his speech at an INDIA bloc meeting has drawn criticism from coalition allies, particularly the Left parties. The allies have expressed concerns about breaching mutual trust, which they say is essential for mounting an effective resistance against the BJP.

The controversy centres on Gandhi's remarks regarding Pinarayi Vijayan and the unilateral disclosure of internal coalition discussions. The DMK also restated its position against the Congress over a disagreement on state-level alliance matters.
