The CPI(M) and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) on Saturday expressed strong disappointment and said the differences in the INDIA bloc paved way for the saffron party’s good show in the national capital. Both the CPI(M) and the IUML are part of the INDIA alliance.

The Marxist party vehemently attacked the Congress and accused it of facilitating the victory of the BJP in Delhi. The IUML, however, opted not to directly criticise the grand-old party, but made it clear that if the partners of the INDI Alliance fought the election unitedly, they could have successfully resisted the saffron party from coming into power.
