News India Live, Digital Desk: In politics, it is often said that the biggest fear is not from external enemies, but from internal ambush. The opposition coalition ‘India’ is similar these days. The results of the Vice Presidential election have set such a fire inside the coalition, which is now coming in front of everyone. The cross-voting in the election has put a big question mark on the claims of opposition unity and has brought the alliance to a such intersection, from where the path ahead is blurred.
What happened in the Vice Presidential election?
NDA candidate C.P. Radhakrishnan got more votes than expected, while ‘India’ alliance candidate B.K. Sudarshan Reddy could not get as many votes as there is the number of alliance MPs. In the mathematics of the alliance, about 15 votes of the alliance have either gone to the NDA account or became illegal, there is now a ruckus about this. The BJP is saying that many MPs of the opposition voted for their candidate after hearing the ‘voice of the conscience’, while there is a panic in the opposition camp.
Fingers are rising on each other
Since this incident, the atmosphere inside the ‘India’ coalition is hot. Some are calling it theft of vote, some are saying that votes have been purchased. While some Congress leaders are demanding a serious investigation into the matter, parties like Trinamool Congress (TMC) are doubting other parties in the tongue.
This is not the first time that cracks have been seen within the alliance, but this time the case is like hurting the trust directly. When you take off a candidate together and your own people do not vote for him, then this is the biggest attack on the solidarity of the coalition.
What is the future of this alliance?
This one result of the Vice Presidential election has raised many big questions. The biggest question is whether this alliance is really united? When MLAs and MPs cannot remain loyal to their alliance in a secret voting, then what is the guarantee of solidarity in the upcoming assembly elections and then Lok Sabha elections?
The lack of mutual coordination between the leaders and the gap of mistrust is now getting deeper. Many constituents have already been questioning the leadership and decisions of the Congress. Now this cross-voting has increased those doubts even more. This incident is not just an election defeat, but it is a major sign of mistrust and disintegration that is flourishing inside the alliance. Now it will have to be seen how the ‘India’ alliance recover from this shock and maintain its solidarity in the future.
