Modi, Shah, BJP, RSS and all their wings, groups use double-edged swords.
If they make risky manoeuvres they will hurt themselves. It perforates the perception among people.
Still, if they are indulging in it, it shows their nervousness, desperation and fear of losing the war.
/1
They are aware that the majority of Indians are not communal. The divisive, communal base they created is not growing anymore. Instead, it is declining overall, more due to Modi’s failures and misadventures.

So their tactics are turning more overtly aggressive and unethical.
/2
Their awkward and arrogant aggression started with article 370, Ram Mandir, CAA and the suppression of that agitation. It continued with farmers’ issues, snatching powers of the Delhi government. Now immediately after the loss in Bengal, they continue fighting for every inch.
/3
They use all avenues available against every possible weak link in the opposition to strengthen their position.
They are very selective, calculative about their targets; do not bother to touch their B teams in Andhra, Odisha, Telangana. They choked AAP when it wagged its tail.
/4
The same tactics were used in Puducherry for 5 years by a governor beating their pulp out. But Congress leaders could not sense it.

It is futile to observe fast and satyagraha against the heartless and ruthless Modi regime who do not bother about any values, rules, scruples.
/5
There is no use waiting or looking for the nod, endorsements, responses of other opposition parties. Congress should take the lead. They are to organise themselves.

They need a vibrant organisation to carry out the task. It should not be just on paper but should be on ground.
/6
Congress need not wait for organisational elections for evolving strategies to expose and/ or legally fight all those who directly and indirectly help all the unethical, illegal, destructive moves of the fascist forces. That may cover all including media, authorities, courts.
/7
The devils are using artful tricks quoting scripture; talking about positivity and Mukti to change perception; misinterpreting immoral acts Modi regime to nullify the negative image that is gaining ground.

The present response mechanism of opposition is totally inadequate.

The above are excerpts of my new blog post: 'The octopus of fascism and poor response mechanism'

The churning of the ‘ocean of milk’ for ‘purification’ of the political system started by Anna ended up in the release of poisonous, opportunistic political elements.

They usurped power exploiting the weaknesses of people and the system, destroying democracy.
/1
Even after 7 years, all sane citizens of this country are still dazed and yet to regain consciousness.
The lies, propaganda of Fascist polluted the atmosphere using the pliable media.
The ignorant and unsophisticated people continue to be so with no way of knowing the truth.
/2
Congress and opposition leaders should get out of their bed and see the world.
It appears as if they were in a state of coma during this period and have not still registered what has happened to the people.
There is some limb and lip movement here and there. Are they enough?

The octopus of Modi, Shah, RSS is in a tearing hurry to spread their tentacles and gobble up still ignorant individuals, groups, parties and the country.

The opposition search for a more aggressive version of an authoritarian to neutralise them with the same tricks, tactics.
/1
It is more like creating a vaccine from the virus to fight it out. But before we could complete our research, the strain changes.

The opposition with its limited resources could have opted for a proper response mechanism to prevent and protect themselves from the virus.
/2
Neither patience nor impatience is going to help. People went on the wrong track to believe Modi & Co in 2014. He exploited the weakness and impatience of people to secure a 5-year term and extracted an extension in 2019 misusing all his powers. Now people are suffering.

Some of the congress leaders are sure that Rahul cannot lead Congress to power.

We are always certain about what others cannot do. We are not so sure or ignore what we cannot do.
Now let us ask some questions.

Who is the alternative to Rahul, Gandhi family to lead Congress?
/1
In many states, they only have a mere presence with diehard cadres and supporters. Congress has to undertake the job to revive, strengthen it all over the country. They cannot do it without organisational reconstruction and resurrection. There is no one visible except Rahul.
/2
The group culture has taken roots and will not go away so easily. These groups within led to the destruction of the party.

Congress cannot survive anymore unless these groups are eliminated.
A new leader can only emerge with their support and cannot neutralise these groups.

India is a democratic country. Are we a mature and fully functional democracy? We are not.
Whether our political parties are democratic. Absolutely not. It is notional to comply with rules.
Congress has a partial internal democracy but more dictated by leaders & their groups.
/1
How internal democracy in Congress was eroded and corroded is a long story but it lost its strength with the dilution of democracy within.

Most of the leaders, media blamed it on the ‘Dynasty’. It is far from true. Gandhis including Indira staunchly believed in democracy.
/2
Call it charisma, sacrifices or brand value, the Gandhi family had a hold on the masses and it weakened with the rise of individualism and group culture.

The syndicate leaders in their greed for power divided the Congress party creating their own groups with Congress cadres.

Every political party is checkmated in a way. No one comes out with flying colours. That also includes Mamata while the left front in Kerala is least affected.

The organisational weakness of Congress shows up again in results.

BJP has a lot to worry about its performance.
/1
They are using or misusing the entire machinery at full throttle. Still, results are not promising but portend a threat to their dominance.

Even if there is a hint of Modi losing his grip, the suppressed, threatened independent institutions would start asserting their rights.
/2
The pandemic threat of the second wave of the ‘Modi/ Shah/ RSS virus’ is receding. The Law of diminishing returns has set in.

The extent to which they put in efforts using everything at their command has not produced any visible result in Tamilnadu, Kerala or even Puducherry.

The confusion, fear, threat in the minds of the people about what the future holds is all-pervading. That is the political reality after the recent elections.

The national parties Congress, BJP are worst affected. The victory of regional parties is only a deceptive euphoria.
/1
How much of Mamata’s victory causes jubilation and to what extent it is a pyrrhic victory in abnormal circumstances with main opponents are authoritarian in their own way is difficult to quantify.

But BJP forced such polarisation, hatred among people. Mamata had to respond.
/2
The aftereffects of such a full-fledged war using every ammunition available with them Modi, Shah, BJP, RSS managed to drive divisions deeper.

But who is going to provide the healing touch? We are not having Gandhiji, Ashoka around to bring normalcy. Can Mamata accomplish it?
