BJP Seeks Opposition Realignment Amid Defections and Organizational Reshuffle

Analysed 22 Jun 2026·3 sources analysed·Maharashtra, India·Politics
BJP Seeks Opposition Realignment Amid Defections and Organizational ReshufflePreviousNext

Following the BJP's setback in April 2025 when the Lok Sabha rejected a constitutional amendment bill to expand seats for women's reservation, the party is intensifying efforts to consolidate power by isolating the Congress and reshaping opposition alliances. Defections within Shiv Sena, TMC, and AAP are altering parliamentary dynamics, with the BJP-led NDA nearing a majority threshold. Concurrently, a rare BJP-RSS meeting signals an impending organizational reshuffle aimed at strengthening party structure ahead of future elections.
