As key state polls approach, the opposition landscape is in flux with shifting political alignments.
Congress is engaged in complex seat-sharing talks.
Maintaining the Mahagathbandhan while weighing RJD’s demands in Bihar tests cooperative ties.
Similarly, a receptive stance in Tamil Nadu balances DMK’s considerations.
The Maha Vikas Aghadi division also faces new pressures in Maharashtra. For the grand old party, projecting strength amid constraints requires deft diplomacy.
True, heavy reliance on regional fronts carries risks to independence. But some support beats isolation for rebuilding. A reasonable approach balances integrity with reality.
Most important is voicing people’s issues regardless. If coalition dharma allows space, Congress can regain initiative nationally via proven governance at the grassroots.
With maturity, all democratic forces can maximize contrast to ruling cadres through collective action instead of competitive obstructionism.
