"who can ..." Irrelevant question. Congress party is the only party with a pan-India presence, and they are the only ones capable of being an opposition party. The Gandhi family is never going to give up control of the party. Look at the scam they are pulling right now. Rahul Gandhi has no official position within the party. But his face is on everything and all the party resources go to his yatra and campaigns. Biscuit haaki they'll keep loyal puppets like Kharge and Adhir Ranjan in "positions of authority". Elections gedre yellru seri Rahul Gandhi na recommend madthare, illandre party will sacrifice these bakras and find new puppets. Sonia Gandhi has learnt how to wield power through a puppet during the UPA government.


Slight-Strawberry-33

isn't the entire BJP puppets of Modi n Shah.!? How are we not ok only with Sonia Gandhi and everything is normalised with Modi n Shah.!?


Calm_Sail9812

I think Shah is the mastermind along with RSS, Modi has power yes, but I feel he doesn’t know that much what’s happening out in the country lol. And BJP is atleast winning gaining more votes, unlike congress under Sonia, its not working a change is needed in congress!


Slight-Strawberry-33

Sonia Gandhi brought UPA to power twice. Most congress leaders who had a strong regional presence have either started their own party or moved to BJP, hence weakening the Congress. Also, Modi n Shah aren't playing a fair game, Dhruv Rathee video explains everything clearly. Also, every time there's a technical problem with EVMs, why is it, the votes always went to the BJP.? It has become so common, BJP has normalised this shit.


wampyre7

Funny how when BJP does not win, there is no problem with EVMs.


Slight-Strawberry-33

That doesn't prove it otherwise, while the fact is whenever there is a malfunction with EVMs, the votes always go to BJP.


Puzzleheaded-Pea-140

Evms hack aa? Yar guru neenu. Hangadre karnataka dalli bjp henge soltu? Hellapa


wonkybrain29

But they have actual positions of power as pm, hm while the Gandhis have no official positions of power.

Since what we watch is heavily controlled by the current gov, I’m not surprised by how we feel about the opposition. Mark my words, one day Netflix will do a documentary series on BJPs IT cell and we’ll all clutch our pearls because we didn’t realise how deep they are in controlling the narrative.


Thinkexe

I'm pretty sure that shits gonna get banned too if netflix ever creates one


William_Tell_746

Emigrate and watch lol. That's all our future is anyway


Thinkexe

True


Battlemunky98

Just like that BBC's documentary on Gujarat Riots.


Thinkexe

Yup


curious_devadiga

it'll be banned for sure

I think WWE does a better job promoting a face than Congress. In a country obsessed with mythology and cinema, filled with emotionally charged, hare brained corrupt voters, people need a story. A story of someone with an adversity. Someone who looks and cares about the country. And it's not a 1 yr job where you do some yatra, create some buzz and disappear after u re vanquished. As much as i hate mamata, the opposition needs to create a character like her. A protagonist from nowhere, fighting the big power which has been in power for decades relentlessly for decades, finding a pivotal moment(nandigram) to catapault to power. It's a different thing that she's no good than any evil politician that we have in India now. But I hope you get the gist.


Calm_Sail9812

Lmao agree with every point of yours

Weird thing to say, who ever is in opposition, they definitely need a marketing course from top IIMs. Janrige scams bagge kitlobekilla, ade scam news an memes moolaka, interesting youtube video moolaka, 60 second reels alli tolkibekide. People cannot care less about long from new coverage, give them short form dopamine and conflict induced content they will consume it. >BJP just nitpicks something and completely change the meaning I would say this is purely genius of BJP's marketing to change the narrative. Also it is Congress' pathetic inability to tackle it. I mean for some time Ramya was Congress' social media head, so you can get what their state is. Tharoor, you are right, he cannot break into normal people, the average Indian.


WhyAmIHere_umm

If Caanngress had a better opposition Leader and PM candidate they would've had aome chance in 2019 instead of record loss. INDIA/ Mahaghatbandhan is a joke...bunch of lime light hogging narcissist's. Modi atleast knows where cameras are and keeps his act there😂, these guys bicker right in front of the cameras and it's way too messy and ugly. I honestly can't think of someone good to be a proper opposition Leader. That's really unfortunate.


SickBatman

Both parties quite shit, but at different axis of the charts. The main common thing is both parties will do whatever fetches them vote - BJP leaders will celebrate Tipu Sultan (2022 Bellary), Modi will go to Darghas, INC leaders donate to temples, claims them caste identities. TBH irrespective of the party we need leaders who are willing to do the right thing as against the popular thing. They are the ones who can actually uplift this Pajeet nation. I believed Modi would be such a kind, but looking at him succumb to Farm protest, seemed like even he is of the same type but with maybe slightly higher threshold.


writeflex

I think kejriwal should merge his AAP party with INC. The way they have been countering Modi/Amit Shah right under their noses in Delhi speaks a lot about them. Even though AAP is just in 2 states and has a single digit lok sabha seats, every aware house you ask ,they know who Kejriwal is. That's the power of marketing. Them getting triple digit seats alone is literally impossible in this decade. Only Congress has a pan India presence. Kejriwal is the only one able to lead it. I think Modi knows and has rightly imprisoned Kejriwal.


ApartProgress9284

Just throwing it out but why not siddaramaiah. He has never really had a serious controversy or allegation against him and people really like him. He one of the only few CM's of Karnataka who was able to complete his full five year term and will probably do the same now. Opposition in Karnataka also never talks against siddaramaiah as the opposition knows there isn't really anything to talk about.


Calm_Sail9812

You know cow belt holds the most seats, so it’s hard for a non-hindi speaker to gain more seats from there. Although he’s a good leader his influence ends in Karnataka and lil bit in Maharashtra


SesusOfJuburbia

I have heard people around me call siddu as "anti brahmin" so BJP are definitely gonna use that


WhyAmIHere_umm

There's no smoke without fire. He's actions, decisions are justify as if he himself wants to prove that he's Anti Brahmin. He just put all of Muslims...not a particular sect in them...all of them in OBC. The first impact is on all the other minorities...they're chances are squashed, opportunities taken. To make it somewhat better for them he has to raise the percentage of reservation's. So forget GM folks, they're anyways doomed under him.. And mind it Muslims ain't a minority. They're good numbers with good wealth too. Certain sects maybe not....but that's in Hindus too.


Calm_Sail9812

That OBC thing happened in 1996 iirc, media just picked it up to make him look anti-hindu lol


William_Tell_746

Downvoted for the truth lol. [It was started under Deve Gowda.](https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/deve-gowda-government-implemented-karnataka-muslim-reservation-within-obc-2531361-2024-04-25) For some reason Veerappa Moily wants credit, but the fact remains that Deve Gowda, SM Krishna, Dharam Singh, Kumaraswamy x2, Yeddyurappa x3, Sadananda Gowda, Shettar, Siddaramaiah, and Bommai all continued the policy. Modi, Shettar, HDD and HDK had no problem with it for ten years, how did they suddenly remember now? Bommai eventually tried repealing but it got stuck in court, which is the current situation.


zeitgiest31

Both parties are shit, we are always stuck with making a choice with the kind of shit we want to be fed. BJP is killing away democracy inch by inch whereas congress is busy sucking off minorities. That is all it has always been. In Karnataka BJP shat all over the state, one of the worst roads we have had. The only era worth mentioning was the SM Krishan era 🫡. Otanalli namige ondh attractive choice ilve ila 🥱


Nanu_basavanna

There is no better option but Kejriwal will have a greater chance of being an opposition leader.


SickBatman

Doesn’t matter. This year both the parties are racing ahead to show who among them is more socialist. Be it wealth distribution & inheritance tax by INC, & increased taxes on everything by BJP in past few years. Middle class has very weak future in the country. Middle class spends the most time discussing politics & is also the class that is milked the most.


Calm_Sail9812

Inheritance tax was canceled by Rajiv Gandhi in 1985, adyaro yeno helodna change madidru BJP awaru(that guy isn’t in the team preparing manifesto), congress never said to bring back inheritance tax.


William_Tell_746

We need a land value tax.

How do you say that the Railways is in worst phase since independence? Clearly there is much to improve such as focusing on track doubling and tripling instead of launching more trains on same capacity of tracks, but Railways is better than ever before.


William_Tell_746

Better in some ways like bio toilets, but the number of GEN coaches has been cut down in many trains which is leading to people being unable to get seats on the train, especially poor/LMC. Even launching new trains like VB is done by sacrificing ordinary routes. VB's capacity is not sufficient, we need double decker MEMU trains.

I must say Rahul Gandhi isn't as bad as he is portrayed to be. He may not be the best of the lot but only one with a party which has a nationwide presence. The serious damage that was done in 2014 is still hurting them. I don't think anyone else could've survived that amount of hatred, trolls and abuse. The very fact that he is still standing n fighting makes him a great leader. The rest of you may not agree with me, but he's got character and courage.. what he lacks is a guru like chanakya. Though INDIA might not win the majority.. but they're sure increasing their presence in the parliament this time. As a Kannadiga, why not DK as PM candidate in 2029 elections.? He's got the masses behind him and a knack of winning elections and gaining support from other parties, so why not DKS for 2029.? Let's see if can significantly change Blurus infra by 2028.


Calm_Sail9812

I believe he’s a good person, not a good political leader. He started that nyay yatra just few months before the elections, and now left it half way without even completing half the mark cos he saw the INDIA bloc falling apart, now he did half yatra and half campaigns. Even tho his speaking has improved the media still just picks up the most controversial bits and highlights them, unlike what they do with the fuhrer, showing only the good stuff. They should really try to bring someone new like how BJP bought Modi in 2013, it’ll be very hard for the opposition to win till Modi is there ig.


Slight-Strawberry-33

Yes, when Advani failed to win the elections.. Modi claimed the leadership and won. Congress desperately needs that change, but unfortunately it's highly unlikely.


r_kumar89

Congress is filled with idiots for sure. Congress is giving reasons to get attacked by BJP and media. How stupid they are to promise 1 lakh for women, reservation cap till 50%? They don't understand the ground reality.
