On Saturday, the Congress reaffirmed that the INDIA bloc remains steadfast, despite the "BJP's attempts" to sow discord within the opposition coalition through "mini-implosions." This assertion follows speculation that Bihar chief minister and JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar might rejoin the BJP-led NDA. Jairam Ramesh addressed the media, stating that party chief Mallikarjun Kharge is actively attempting to establish contact with Nitish Kumar.
