I.N.D.I.A. alliance 'dead in the water': RK Singh's election verdict and future outlook

Singh critiqued the Congress Party's reliance on caste-based calculations, asserting that this strategy proved ineffective in securing voter support. He argued that competency, not caste considerations, should be the focus for political parties, referencing the BJP's earlier success in 2014 that saw regional parties wiped out despite their caste-based strategies.

Responding to questions about the BJP's dominance, Singh acknowledged the party's lead but noted challenges in breaking strongholds held by regional parties such as Mamata Banerjee, Stalin, and Vijayan. Despite this, he confidently predicted the BJP's return with a larger majority.

Singh also commented on the political landscape in Delhi and Bengal, predicting an end to what he described as "freebie politics" and asserting that people would rise against perceived issues in these regions.

Regarding the future of the I.N.D.I.A. alliance, Singh declared it "dead in the water," citing the limited impact of regional parties outside their respective states and families. He argued that the lack of a broad national presence hinders the effectiveness of such alliances, pointing to Mamata Banerjee's minimal impact in states like Tamil Nadu.

Meanwhile, with the trends giving the BJP a lead in three states in the assembly polls, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to address party workers here on Sunday evening.
