New Delhi, Jan. 28 -- While several of INDI bloc alliance partners are taking a dip in the sangam during the ongoing Kumbh festivities, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has seemingly put his allies and even his party leaders in a bind. Kharge on Monday asked if taking a dip in the Ganga could end poverty.

"Don't fall into the trap of false promises of (Narendra) Modi. Is poverty ended by taking a dip in the Ganga? Does it fill your stomach? I don't want to question anyone's 'aastha (faith)'. If anyone feels bad, I apologise," Kharge said.

However, the statement by the Congress chief again illustrates a complete lack of coordination and clarity on important political subjects between various alliance partners of the INDI bloc.
