Only a united opposition that uses every medium to reach the people and inform them of the danger they are in, will help.

Developing a concerted counter-attack on the BJP government would have been to rise to the defence of opposition leaders who Modi was targeting.

The answer almost certainly lies buried in the ongoing rapid privatisation of port and LNG terminal development that has taken place during Modi’s prime ministership.

By upholding the Article 370 decision, the Supreme Court has opened the way for the government to amend the Constitution without having to bother with getting a two-thirds majority in both houses of Parliament.

The rise in BJP's vote share has not come at the cost of Congress' voter base but that of other smaller parties, data shows.

The Modi government’s objective is not to prove anything given that there is not even a shred of evidence of wrongdoing by any member of the Congress party in this case. It is only to make a credulous and confused public believe that the Congress’ leaders are corrupt.

From his first year in office, Prime Minister Modi has targeted every political leader, every political party, and every institution that could become a threat to his ambition. Paradoxically, the party he seems to fear the most is the smallest among the INDIA alliance’s major constituents –  the Aam Aadmi Party.

At the moment, a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine seems impossible. But should a miracle occur, there is one example of a multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-cultural federation that could be a model: the ethno-federal democracy of India.

Left to himself, Netanyahu would probably have baulked at going so far. But Joe Biden's unflinching support has gone a long way.

By offering to reunite central and state elections, Modi has unwittingly offered INDIA a way out of its seat-sharing dilemma.

The violence in Nuh, Palwal and Gurgaon makes it clear Narendra Modi has fallen back on the one antidote with which he is familiar, which worked unfailingly in Gujarat and in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. This is the stirring up hatred of Muslims and other minorities in the Hindu majority.

"Kashmir came to India because we felt our ambitions and hopes would be fulfilled by allying ourselves with the great country which was India, which believed in democracy, in the rule of law... Now look at the treatment Kashmir has received... Let every Indian search his own heart."

The immediate threat lies in Kashmir.

What is important is for the opposition to convey to the public that in the battle to defeat Modi’s BJP in 2024, the differences between Congress and AAP signify nothing.

The fact that the planned joint opposition in Patna was postponed has created rumours that such unity may not be achieved before 2024. This fear, however, is almost certain to prove groundless.

If there is a lesson the opposition needs to learn from Modi’s endorsement of a film that he has almost certainly not even seen the trailer of, it is that he will stop at absolutely nothing to come back to power in 2024.

The prime minister is spending almost 11 times as much on meeting the same need as the Delhi chief minister. Is that because his job is 11 times as onerous as a chief minister’s? Or is it because Modi’s ego is considerably larger than Kejriwal’s?

His calculated neglect of the threat to the CRPF has the same origins as his government’s abysmal failure in virtually every department.
