Tensions within the opposition INDIA bloc were evident in the Lok Sabha as Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav criticized the BJP while distancing himself from the Congress. Yadav highlighted the "inadequate attention" to the manufacturing sector post-1991 economic reforms and criticized both major parties over their handling of China's territorial claims. His comments followed Rahul Gandhi's assertion that the Army confirmed Chinese incursions into Indian territory, which Defence Minister Rajnath Singh dismissed, attributing land losses to the 1962 conflict.

As the Delhi elections approach, Yadav urged voters to support the AAP over Congress to effectively challenge the BJP. His remarks reflect the shifting dynamics within the opposition, with other INDIA allies also rallying behind the AAP, raising questions about leadership within the bloc following recent electoral setbacks for Congress.
