Rahul Gandhi Assures Uddhav Thackeray Of Future Role As Shiv Sena (UBT) Skips INDIA Bloc Protest

Rahul Gandhi has reportedly assured Uddhav Thackeray that the Shiv Sena (UBT) will be included in future INDIA bloc protests, amid tensions over the Congress’s approach. Despite the assurance, the Thackeray-led faction will skip today’s INDIA bloc protest, meeting and delegation scheduled to meet the President. Sources cite resentment within the faction over what it views as the Congress’s unilateral approach. The absence highlights strains within the Opposition alliance even as Rahul Gandhi seeks to address the concerns and secure the faction’s participation in future demonstrations.
