NDA Dominates as Opposition Alliance Unravels Due to Congress' Failure to Unite Regional Parties
- Opposition alliance left with only a few regional parties like DMK, Shiv Sena faction, CPM, RJD, and SP after desertions by TMC, AAP, and now JD(U)
- Congress failing to hold alliance together or win trust of regional partners like TMC and JD(U) who have blamed it
- NDA seems to be setting agenda and outmaneuvering disjointed opposition alliance with no unity of purpose
- Opposition vote bank shrinking with BJP making inroads into Dalit, tribal, and some Muslim vote banks
- After Bihar, BJP has hold on wider rainbow coalition of OBC, EBC and upper caste votes while RJD depends solely on Muslims and Yadavs
