When 'chaukidaar' becomes 'chor'..., says state Congress president on moving leaders to Hyderabad ahead of floor test

Rahul Gandhi should forget Nyay Yatra. It should be 'bye bye' yatra: BJP National Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla
Poonawalla in a harsh swipe at the I.N.D.I.A. bloc highlighted its many instances of internal unrest.
"Sometimes it is Mamata didi who has now said that Rahul Gandhi is a migratory bird and he cones for photo ops, that the Congress won't even have 40 seats," he noted.
Poonawalla added, "In Punjab, we have seen AAP vs Congress."
"In Maharashtra, Uddhav Sena vs Congress," he continued.
"In Kerala, Left vs Congress," he further said.
Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections this year, it seems the BJP is riding high on the Ram mandir wave, while the I.N.D.I.A. bloc is struggling to put up a united opposition.
"It is ironic that one hand, we saw the pranpratishtha of Ram Mandir. On the other hand, ever since Nyay Yatra started, the illegal structure of INDI Alliance is constantly being demolished," the spokesperson pointed out.
"This entire INDI Alliance has no mission or vision for the country. It only has contradiction, confusion, division and apna apna corruption and ambition. So, we see a new fight emerging in the INDIA Alliance everyday. Can these people ever run the country together? Rahul Gandhi should forget his Nyay Yatra. It should be 'bye bye yatra'. Ever since he started, first Mayawati said bye bye to their alliance, then Milind Deora said bye bye to Congress, then Mamata Didi, then AAP in Punjab, then Nitish Kumar. Very soon, the public is going to say bye bye...," he said.
