The INDIA alliance has wrapped up its third conclave, this time in Mumbai. After every INDIA meeting, BJP asks the question: ‘Modi vs who?’ or who will be the Opposition ‘face’ to challenge PM Modi in 2024. But searching for a ‘face’ to combat the dominant persona of the PM is only to the BJP’s advantage. Instead of worrying about ‘Modi vs who,’ INDIA should focus on ‘Modi vs message’.
Momentum is rapidly building for the general elections and the Opposition needs to go to the people with an alternate constructive vision of national renewal. Instead of only voicing fears of rising majoritarianism and democracy in danger, it’s time to craft a concrete message of hope.
