With the support of BJP allies and regional parties such as Odisha\u2019s BJD and Andhra Pradesh\u2019s YSRCP, she is <strong>poised (about to do something) <\/strong>to win and become the first from a tribal community to occupy the highest office of the Republic. The significance of her <strong>elevation (the highest stage of development) <\/strong>is particularly pronounced in the 75th year of India\u2019s independence. A tribal woman succeeding a Dalit in the highest office of the country is a remarkable <strong>testimony (Something that serves as evidence) <\/strong>to the deepening of Indian democracy, notwithstanding the disturbing signs of the <strong>mobilisation (Organized for a purpose) <\/strong>of <strong>subaltern (Inferior in status) <\/strong>communities for majoritarian politics. Ms. Murmu will be the second woman to hold the highest office, after Pratibha Patil, and at 64, she will be the youngest President in the country\u2019s history. From Mayurbhanj in Odisha, part of the region that houses a vast majority of India\u2019s aboriginal population, Ms. Murmu was a teacher, and joined the BJP in 1997. She was a Minister in Odisha and the Governor of Jharkhand between 2015 and 2021. Her nomination by the BJP for the highest office of the country signifies the party\u2019s sustained efforts to <strong>incorporate (include) <\/strong>tribal communities politically and culturally. Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s personal signature on the decision is unmistakable and is in line with his <strong>relentless (not stopping) <\/strong>efforts to expand the BJP\u2019s social base wide and far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With numbers <strong>tilted (to direct something so as to favor a particular opinion or side) <\/strong>in the BJP\u2019s favour, the Opposition could have only used the contest for the highest office as an opportunity for political messaging. The joint candidate of the Opposition parties, Yashwant Sinha \u2014 a former BJP leader and Union Minister in the Janata Dal and BJP governments \u2014 hardly serves that purpose. For all his track record, Mr. Sinha hardly represents anything political. That he turned into a strong critic of Mr. Modi after being ignored for positions, if anything, weakens any claim of his candidacy being an ideological <strong>counter (in a way that opposes something) <\/strong>to the BJP. The lack of imagination, initiative and capacity for any <strong>radical (Markedly new or introducing fundamental change) <\/strong>politics in the Opposition comes across <strong>starkly (In sharp outline or contrast) <\/strong>in the selection of the candidate. While Mr. Modi uses every election as an opportunity to respond to group aspirations of various communities, the Opposition remains <strong>adrift (Without a clear purpose or direction) <\/strong>and <strong>ensconced (Fix firmly) <\/strong>in <strong>cocoons (Protective cover)<\/strong>. That Mr. Sinha comes from a tribal State, Jharkhand, makes the optics of this contest even more damaging for the Opposition. The Opposition is right to point out that the BJP did not make any serious effort to field a <strong>consensus (Full agreement between a number of people) <\/strong>candidate. But excusing its own limitations by blaming the BJP is self-defeating. This turned out to be yet another missed opportunity for the Opposition to construct a counter narrative to the BJP, which is inclusive in its messaging in instances such as this, while not giving up its pursuit of an exclusivist politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to learn new words on a daily basis?
