NationalInterest: BJP’s push for one-party state has a flip side— It could be Congress’s chance for revival
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of BJP's dominance in Indian politics and the potential for Congress's revival.
Parliament Monsoon Session, scheduled to begin on Monday may affirm India’s evolution into a one-party state. There’s a flip side — it will also open up the possibility for a second party to rise, if it could sweep up the detritus of the vote banks of regional parties the BJP is currently decimating or subsuming. This incredible win for the BJP will, ironically, also open up the space needed for the Congress to rediscover its mojo as the BJP’s only pan-national challenger.
