India's Opposition Must Reinvent Itself for Effectiveness

• The Opposition failed to properly analyze its Bihar defeat, blaming the Election Commission instead of internal issues.
• The article suggests the Opposition is dormant, needing to reinvent itself beyond criticizing PM Modi and building ground-level organization.
• The Opposition's narratives are inconsistent, blaming the ECI for Bihar while expecting success in other states like West Bengal.
• It needs a national coherent narrative, similar to the BJP's blend of Hindutva, development, and alliances, to effectively counter the ruling party.
• The Opposition must address real voter concerns and avoid self-created echo chambers to become an effective force in India's democracy.

Why It Matters: An ineffective opposition threatens India's democratic balance.
