India's Opposition Needs Coherent Policy Agenda for Credible Challenge, Says CommentaryPreviousNext

A commentary suggests India's opposition parties, particularly Congress, need a coherent policy agenda to challenge the ruling BJP. The author argues that the Congress's shift from a unifying 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' to advocating for a caste census creates incoherence. The piece emphasizes the need for a liberal nationalist agenda to provide a credible political alternative and maintain balance in the constitutional machinery.
