Electoral scene
Why is the opposition silent? Yeshwant Sinha Satya News 26 June 2021 https://youtu.be/P9pqles4YRw?t=1734 opp. has become weak. Rashtriya Manch started as a non party political platform..not only a think tank. Not anti-modi but anti-policy. Leadership? need for non- BJP front? Let the best not be the enemy of good. include others.. congress should perform a role similar to what VP singh did to get together with the opposition. Need a hero? Dont have one at the moment. Let's see if one comes up. Role model? Not really because it is difficult to work outside the glare of the media.

SS: official media briefing on the meet of the Rashtra Manch at Sharad Pawar's residence in Delhi (at the initiative of Yashwant Sinha). https://fb.watch/6iIoddhjtQ/ >
fairly hazy. it aspires to become a think tank +, on the national plane, for anti-BJP politics. That, by its very nature, poses some sort of challenge to the Congress - as the natural, and default, epicentre.
As, as of now, the ideational alternatives/critiques keep coming from only the Congress and, to an extent, pretty enfeebled Left.
On the flip side, it offers some hope of acting as a catalytic agent facilitating formation of a broader anti-BJP front - based on a (common) programme and, thereby, also ensuring some cohesion, with wider public acceptability.
NCP leader Majid Menon said it was not a meeting for forming an anti-BJP front or a non-Congress front. “It was not an anti-BJP political front meeting called by Sharad Pawar. It was a meeting of Rashtriya Manch held at his residence. Like-minded individuals or people with the same ideology attended the meeting and there were several apolitical personalities present in the meeting,” Menon said.
“The broader purpose of the meeting was to discuss people-centric issues. Attendees stressed on the need for an alternative vision for the country and a team will be formed to realise that vision,” said Samajwadi Party leader Ghanshyam Tiwari .
“Narendra Modi wasn’t mentioned even once, nor was a third front,” said former Rajya Sabha member Pavan Varma. “There can be no discussion of a third front without the Congress. Mr Pawar felt that the forum should be broadened with the inclusion of other parties and personalities.”
Rashtra Manch Meet: Prashant Kishore accelerates preparing alternate for Narendra Modi | Third Eye https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVY1YN_z7GQ Jun 23, 2021
After winning the West Bengal assembly elections, poll strategist #PrashantKishore has been instrumental in bringing the shattered opposition together, and in this series, #PK had met #SharadPawar in Mumbai and now he brought them together in Delhi in order to search for an alternative of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
For the last 2 General Elections, the BJP supporters used to say that There Is No Alternative #TINA and the opposition has been saying that Modi Is No Alternative #MINA but after the #RashtraManch Meet in New Delhi on June 22nd, it seems Prashant Kishore has accelerated his efforts to create an alternate discourse and this may lead to finding a new leader who can be the alternative of Narendra Modi as Prime Minister.

Indian Electoral Politics: Shifting Sands
Seven decades down the line the electoral scene has changed for the worse and is currently dominated by emotive issues. The foundation of derailing the ‘this worldly’ issues was the Ram Temple movement. This movement became stronger after the implementation of Mandal Commission report. Since then the domination of emotive, identity issues is on the rise. This is reflected by the fact that in 2019, no party dared to utter the word secularism, as claimed by the winner of 2019 elections, Mr. Narendra Modi himself. He presented it as a trophy for the efforts of RSS-BJP’s political success.

It is in this track that any issue can be given a religious turn as we witnessed its peak in the coining of phrase ‘Corona Jihad’. This showed how electoral politics can be reduced merely to game of identity issues. BJP has mastered this art over a period of last few decades. The media, which is prostrating to BJP ideology, is putting its best efforts to magnify the doings of communal stream.
Not to be left behind, Arvind Kejrival is trying to compete which these divisive efforts revolving around identity issues, in his own unique smart ways. The AAP, which in a way, is an alternate model of communal politics; is playing its Hindutva/communal card with shrewdness. Kajriwal party is also an example of blind subservience to the dictator by the other leaders of that party. As Kejriwal demanded this; all his cronies, stated saying the same. The peak of this was Atishi Marlena, who stated that this demand of Laxmi-Ganesh is not merely Kejriwal demand, it is the aspiration of 130 crore Indians! Most of the dictatorial tendencies believe they are speaking for the whole country. This is a duplicate of what Narendra Modi, when he was Chief Minister of Gujarat, used to say that he is talking on behalf of Five Crore Gujratis. India needs a party which can accommodate all sections of society with equality and dignity, apart from welfare; it also promotes employment and proactively deals with marginalized sections of society. We need a party where religion is not mixed with politics. For many, AAP began with a big promise for a better politics, but its reality is there for all to see with its trajectory leading to demanding Laxmi and Ganesh on currency notes and dumping of Jan Lokpal in the dustbin of Hisotry!
