A few switching sides won’t impact I.N.D.I.A, says Sachin Pilot

He also said the BJP talking about 370 seats for itself and 400-plus for the NDA was more of “bravado and rhetoric” than a practical assessment on the ground

Amid some INDIA bloc constituents switching sides to the NDA, Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Sunday said the opposition alliance is “strong” and the BJP is attempting a “frantic rejig” of the political landscape as it is worried over the collective strength of the coalition.

In an interview with PTI, Pilot also said West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC chief Mamata Banerjee is very much part of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA), and expressed confidence that a way forward will be found in seat-sharing talks with her party. He also said the BJP talking about 370 seats for itself and 400-plus for the NDA was more of “bravado and rhetoric” than a practical assessment on the ground.

As the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra travels through Chhattisgarh, the AICC general secretary in-charge of the state dismissed suggestions that the yatra was adversely affecting the poll preparations of the party and asserted that talks for seat-sharing with allies were going on simultaneously.
