Survey Shows Rahul Gandhi's Rising Opposition Profile Amid Political Developments in Tamil Nadu and UPPreviousNext

A recent online survey indicates a growing acceptance of Rahul Gandhi as a credible Opposition leader, with 54.5% of respondents viewing him as the strongest challenger to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. While some see his image shifting from confused to responsible, others remain critical. Separately, political speculation surrounds Tamil Nadu's BJP unit leadership, with actor Sarathkumar considered for a key post. The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is reportedly increasing its activity in Uttar Pradesh ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections, influenced by close ties with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
