How did the Opposition fare in 2025
The Opposition bloc, INDIA, faced significant setbacks in 2025. After failing to stop the Bharatiya Janata Party's victory in the Lok Sabha elections and losing state elections in Delhi and Bihar, several allies exited the bloc due to disagreements over seat-sharing and campaign strategies. Rahul Gandhi, who led protests against voter disenfranchisement during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, was met with mixed reactions from his allies. Mamata Banerjee of Trinamool Congress announced plans for a solo run in the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections. Despite efforts to unify, internal conflicts within INDIA hampered its campaign and led to accusations of voter fraud. The Opposition's united front was weakened by disagreements over seat-sharing and campaign strategies, ultimately contributing to their electoral losses.
