India's political landscape is heating up as the Indian National Congress, the main challenger to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), faces challenges in its bid to regain power. The Congress, which has a long history of governing the country since independence, has recently formed an alliance with other opposition leaders under the banner of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA).
The INDIA bloc, aimed at 'saving democracy,' launched its campaign last month but has been struggling to match the charisma and popularity of Modi. Analysts point out that the opposition alliance has been plagued by internal conflicts, hindering its ability to present a united front against the BJP.
