BJP TIGHTENS GRIP, TOUGH BATTLE FOR OPPN

The appointment of Devendra Fadnavis as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra has clearly indicated the strong ties between RSS and BJP.

The recent victories in Haryana and Maharashtra have demonstrated that the BJP and RSS are forming a powerful alliance that will dominate elections in the Hindi-speaking belt.

This partnership seems unlikely to be challenged by any opposition party.

To effectively counter this alliance, a strong coalition of dedicated and influential workers is necessary—something that no party has managed to form so far.

In contrast, many parties in Hindi-speaking states are focusing on family-based politics and personal praise, making their strategies difficult to comprehend.

Regional parties are struggling to secure their own survival, while Congress has become a mere pawn in this political game.

Congress strategists seem unable to grasp that, like in 2004, their previous tactics won't work again.

The key to Congress' success lies in strengthening its organization and contesting elections independently across the country.

In Maharashtra, both Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena are struggling for survival.
