Congress meeting remarks centre on a dispute between Sonia Gandhi and Digvijaya Singh over Nitish Kumar’s role in recent politics. NDTV reports that Singh suggests the INDIA alliance should not have allowed Kumar to leave in 2024.

Sonia Gandhi responds at the meeting by arguing that Kumar’s departure was effectively inevitable, stating he was “bound to leave anyway.” The account focuses on the exchange within the Congress setting, without detailing broader negotiations or corroborating further context on the INDIA alliance’s decision-making at the time.

Across the available reporting, the shared core is that Digvijaya Singh raises the point about Kumar leaving in 2024, and Sonia Gandhi contradicts the implication that the alliance could have prevented it. The differing emphasis is on whether the split was avoidable or predetermined, reflecting internal disagreements over how events in the INDIA alliance unfold and are interpreted.
