Patna buzzed with BJP’s Syed Shahnavaz Hussain’s scathing takedown of the DMK-Congress seat negotiations in Tamil Nadu, dismissed as a ‘sinking ship’ venture. The deadlock exposes Congress’s toxic influence on partners, he contended.
DMK hesitates, viewing Congress as a vessel headed for depths, Hussain noted. Allies universally regret pacts, per him – Bihar’s RJD submerged as Rahul advanced.
DMK debates intensify: Congress’s Tamil Nadu irrelevance – scant votes, no Rahul brigade – makes it a poor bet. Pure alliance mendicancy sustains them.
Chronicling failures, Hussain tallied Congress’s ledger: Maharashtra-Gujarat-Haryana routs; Delhi duck; Bihar scraps. Cricket parallel: ‘Zeros galore – no selector’s choice.’
Preempt defeat, DMK must strategize wisely, he advised. Budget session drew ire too – opposition’s hooliganism, President insults routine. ‘Jai Shri Ram’ provokes Congress rage; Mamata embodies it. Time for opposition reform, as public eyes judge.
