The path ahead
With as many as 28 Opposition parties on board the INDIA bloc has begun to fancy its chances of upsetting the NDA’s apple cart. But it would certainly be a tall order. While surveys have predicted that the chances of the NDA retaining power are good, the results of the Assembly elections that precede the Lok Sabha election could present a clearer political picture.
Much would hinge on whether the Opposition parties are on the same page when it comes to crucial matters such as seat sharing and putting up common candidates. The performance of INDIA in the larger States would have a bearing on the final results.
