Opposition Challenges and Protests Amid BJP Government's Recent Developments
The INDIA bloc Opposition faces challenges in uniting against the BJP-led government, which recently celebrated economic growth and political victories amid controversies like the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. The RSS-linked Organiser magazine attributes ongoing protests, including those over the EC row and an IIT Bombay student's suicide, to a 'Communist-Islamist cabal' allegedly influencing opposition parties. Meanwhile, Karnataka's Congress government has adopted frequent street protests to mobilize support and challenge central policies, reflecting a strategic shift under Rahul Gandhi's leadership.
