INDIA bloc ally Akhilesh Yadav says shirtless protest by Congress at AI summit ‘not appropriate’

Akhilesh Yadav, leader of the Samajwadi Party and an ally in the INDIA bloc, criticized the Congress party's recent shirtless protest at the AI summit, labeling it as 'not appropriate.' While acknowledging the internal disagreements among opposition parties, he emphasized that the real issue lies with the BJP government, which he accused of deceiving the public. Yadav's remarks highlight the ongoing tensions within the opposition coalition, as they navigate their collective strategy against the ruling party. The Congress protest was aimed at drawing attention to various issues, but it has sparked a debate on the appropriateness of such actions in serious political discourse. Yadav's comments underscore the need for unity in the opposition, while also pointing out that displays of dissent should align with the gravity of the issues at hand. As the political landscape in India evolves, these internal dynamics within the opposition could influence their effectiveness in challenging the BJP's governance.
