Credit to oppn in giving tough fight in once perceived one sided election

Now that all the phases of high-decibel Lok Sabha elections have concluded, it is over to result day on Tuesday, June 4. The election saw an aggressive campaigning with top leaders of the BJP-led NDA and the Opposition INDIA bloc making all efforts to woo voters. All eyes are on verdict day when the fate of the incumbent NDA government and the INDIA alliance will be decided. Political observers point out that the tone and tenor of the two-month-long electoral battle have undergone a drastic change since it began on April 19. Perceived to be a one-sided election at the beginning with the BJP-led NDA expected to win the third consecutive term, the INDIA bloc’s campaign gained momentum with issues such as unemployment, the burgeoning rich-poor divide, and inflation taking the centre stage. Now whatever is the result, at least credit goes to the opposition and their social media team that have made BJP change election strategies multiple times to impress upon the voters. No doubt, the opposition has succeeded in negating the advantage the NDA had earlier.
