00:00The Karnataka results are of course a huge morale booster for the Congress, but also
00:09for opposition unity. Mr Siddharam Iyer swearing in as Karnataka Chief Minister on Saturday
00:14turned into an opposition show of strength. And while a number of leaders did attend,
00:18it was those who didn't, who were glaring with their absence, like Mamata Banerjee who
00:22was invited but said a junior leader instead. Akhilesh Yadav wasn't there. And Arvind K.
00:27Jeewal and K Chandrasekhar Rao weren't even invited. The Congress is in a dilemma on how
00:32to deal with its relationship with the AAP. And with the BRS, with Telangana elections
00:37also coming up later this year, both parties are not really keen to be seen to be cosying
00:42up to each other. So the bottom line is that the efforts to unite the opposition are still
00:49facing considerable hurdles.
