The last few days have been marked by a very ugly spat between the Samajwadi Party and
00:08
the Congress, two important constituents of the India Opposition Alliance. This comes
00:13
over a breakdown in seat-sharing talks for Madhya Pradesh. Now this spat, which has played
00:19
out rather publicly and has been quite ugly, is reflecting certain inner contradictions
00:25
and challenges that the India bloc is grappling with at the moment. The alliance was announced
00:30
with much fanfare in July. There were a couple of meetings that were also held at the top
00:35
level of the top leadership. The last meeting was held in Mumbai at the end of August. But
00:39
since then, there has been virtually no progress on the most important issue of all, and that
00:45
is seat-sharing. In fact, when the leaders had met back at the end of August in Mumbai,
00:50
one of the things that many parties had stressed on was the need to come to an early seat-sharing
00:55
agreement, even by the end of October, so that candidates had enough time to go out
01:00
there and campaign and take on the formidable machinery of the BJP. But there's been no
01:05
sign of any progress on that front at all. Instead, what we have seen is bickering. And
01:10
the SP Congress spat was just one example of that. There was a coordination committee
01:15
of the India bloc that was set up. It has met only once in the middle of September.
01:20
There's been no sign of a meeting to take place after that. There was supposed to be
01:24
a joint rally of the opposition leaders in Bhopal. Kamal Nath scuttled that because of
01:29
the Madhya Pradesh elections. But no alternative venue or no alternative site for a joint rally
01:36
has been decided after that once again. It shows that there are many stumbling blocks
01:41
ahead as the elections get closer and closer for opposition unity. And the real challenge
01:47
will now lie in overcoming those hurdles in the next few weeks and months.
