Kashyap Criticizes Bhupesh Baghel After Jharkhand Rajya Sabha Defeat

Kashyap contrasted the strategic efficacy of the two parties, noting that while the BJP successfully utilized observer Vijay Sharma, the Congress suffered another setback under Baghel’s guidance. He characterized the former Chief Minister as a figure who undermines his own party's prospects wherever he is deployed. These comments surfaced as the INDIA bloc grapples with internal friction and allegations of cross-voting during the recent electoral process.

Baghel previously dismissed claims of Congress negligence, arguing that all party MLAs remained loyal while pinning the blame on alliance partners. He accused the BJP of weaponizing financial influence to subvert democratic norms, labeling the legislative process a market-driven auction. As tensions simmer, leadership from the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha and Congress held high-level discussions at Chief Minister Hemant Soren’s residence to address the coordination failures that allowed the NDA to capture the seat.
