Sibal, who has maintained a critical stance on political alliances, distanced himself from the INDIA bloc’s internal conflicts, stating, "Why are you asking me? Ask those who want to strengthen it. They are unblocking their bloc." His remarks indicate that the opposition parties are failing to maintain internal cohesion, which could impact their credibility ahead of the upcoming elections.

Lack of Structure and Clear Strategy

Highlighting the need for a well-defined organizational structure, Sibal pointed out several gaps in the opposition alliance:

No Spokesperson or Secretariat – The bloc lacks a centralized leadership or a structured secretariat, making it difficult to communicate a unified stance.

Absence of a Common Policy – A minimum program is essential for any political coalition to function effectively, yet the INDIA bloc has not outlined a clear policy framework.

Failure to Address Public Concerns – Sibal stressed that opposition parties need to focus on real public issues, rather than making symbolic promises that may not resonate with the electorate.

"If they have to seriously face this government, then the opposition parties will have to come on one platform and move forward with one program," he stated, underlining the urgency for strategic coherence.

Unfocused Political Narrative

Taking a dig at the alliance’s agenda, Sibal remarked, "They say that they will make engineering books in Tamil when we come to power. Does it have anything to do with the future?" His statement suggests that the INDIA bloc is failing to prioritize key issues such as inflation, employment, governance, and economic growth, which directly impact the common people.

What Lies Ahead for the INDIA Bloc?

Sibal’s comments reflect a broader concern about the opposition’s ability to present a formidable challenge to the ruling party. Without a unified leadership, a clear agenda, and a structured campaign, the INDIA bloc risks losing momentum.

As political uncertainty looms, the question remains: Will the INDIA bloc resolve its internal rifts and emerge as a strong alternative, or will it continue to struggle with ideological and leadership conflicts? Only time will tell how the alliance navigates its challenges in the run-up to the next elections.
