India's opposition, largely underestimated before the national election, staged a remarkable comeback, challenging Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling party. The election results revealed a significant shift in the political landscape, with the opposition winning 232 seats out of 543, doubling its previous strength.
The opposition alliance, known as INDIA, formed to counter what they perceived as Modi's increasing control over democratic institutions and his Hindu nationalist agenda. Led by Rahul Gandhi, the opposition focused on issues like unemployment, inequality, and social injustice during the campaign.
