The national president of Vanchit Bahujan Aaghadi (VBA), Prakash Ambedkar, directed a scathing criticism towards Congress, aiming at Maharashtra Pradesh Adhyaksh Nana Patole, through a written letter. In a letter to Nana Patole, Ambedkar questioned the apparent contradictions in Congress's stance. "It seems that you are playing mind games with the people of Maharashtra, or perhaps there is a 'locha' in your brain," wrote Prakash Ambedkar in his letter.
The letter was written by the national president of Vanchit Bahujan Aaghadi (VBA), Prakash Ambedkar.
Divergent signals from Congress leadership
Ambedkar highlighted the contrasting messages received from Congress leaders. While Maharashtra Congress in-charge Ramesh Chennithala announced the inclusion of the Bahujan Aghadi in the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) on January 23, Ambedkar received a letter from Nana Patole suggesting otherwise.
Congress' limited authority
Ambedkar asserted that Congress leadership, including Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, and Ramesh Chennithala, lacks the authority to make decisions regarding alliances without signatures from key leaders. He claims that decisions related to MVA and national alliances fall outside their jurisdiction.

Prakash Ambedkar emphasised the need for signatures on the letter from Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, or Ramesh Chennithala for Bahujan Aghadi to consider participating in the MVA meeting.
