‘Only Figment Of Imagination’: BJP Takes Dig At INDIA Bloc As Opposition Holds Key Meet Published By, Last Updated: June 08, 2026, 14:36 IST Several top leaders of the opposition alliance met here at the Constitution Club in the backdrop of differences emerging among some of its constituents. BJP Takes Swipe at INDIA Bloc, Calls Alliance a 'Figment of Imagination' INDIA Bloc Meeting: As leaders of opposition’s Indian Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc met today in the national capital to mend ties amid differences among the constituents, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) took a dig and said that the opposition alliance is “a figment of imagination" and lacks conviction on the ground. Top leaders of 23 political parties of the opposition INDIA bloc are brainstorming at a conclave at the capital’s Constitution Club to redraw their strategy to take on the BJP and iron out differences amid changed power dynamics after the defeat of regional anchors TMC and DMK in the recently held assembly polls. In a post on X, BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said there is a complete implosion in the INDIA bloc, with disagreements involving the Congress and the DMK, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and the Left parties. He added that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has also questioned the Congress’ intentions behind forging alliances with regional parties. Delhi: BJP Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla says, “The INDI Alliance has never had any mission or vision; it was always about confusion and division, and they were united only in posters and photos.

But now even the posters have become separate.

It has advised smaller regional parties that the only reason the Congress is coming together with them is to strengthen itself, not the nation, and therefore it will not join the INDI alliance," he said in a post on X.

It is just a figment of one’s imagination. Cosmetic meetings take place, but real conviction on the ground is never seen," he added. Claiming that the opposition alliance lacks a common purpose, Poonawalla said it has “no mission, no vision, only division". “The INDI alliance never had any mission. It was always about confusion, ambition and division. Those divisions are now playing out on a daily basis. Even when these parties came together, they did so not out of conviction but for convenience," he said. In a video statement, he claimed that regional parties do not have faith in the Congress as “actually uses and throws them".
