Significance
It is likely that the move was at least partly aimed at shoring up alliance unity. Congress continues to face criticism from many of its INDIA partners, not least because of its underwhelming performance in recent legislative assembly elections.
Impacts
The government will press on confidently with its policy agenda, emboldened by opposition infighting.
Congress will only have limited success in mobilising support for its efforts to confront the government over the Adani Group controversy.
How INDIA parties approach upcoming legislative assembly elections will help gauge the level of unity within the front.
