India's Opposition Faces Challenge to BJP's Dominance
In India, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been in power for a long time, about 15 years.
During this time, the opposition parties have not been able to come up with a strong plan or ideas to challenge the BJP.
A writer named Mark Leonard has pointed out that in other places like Europe and the US, the new right has a clear plan, support from people, and good ways to communicate.
The opposition in India needs to do the same to have a better chance of winning against the BJP.
BJP has dominated Indian politics for nearly 15 years.
Opposition parties have struggled to present a credible challenge.
Mark Leonard notes the success of the new right in Europe and the US due to their narrative, social base, policy agenda, and communication channels.
Indian opposition needs to develop a similar strategy to succeed.
The lack of a strong policy agenda has been a significant hurdle for the opposition.
