Against the <strong>backdrop (The context and environment in which something is set) <\/strong>of <strong>allegations ((law) a formal accusation against somebody (often in a court of law)) <\/strong>that the BJP is misusing state power to <strong>corner (Force a person or an animal into a position from which he cannot escape) <\/strong>the Opposition, the leaders talked up the import of the gathering; for instance, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin termed it a \u201cwar cry of a united opposition\u201d for the \u201crebirth of a secular democratic India\u201d. In reality, the <strong>deliberations (Careful consideration) <\/strong>were exploratory, and the event was more for <strong>optics (the aspects of an action, policy, or decision (as in politics or business) that relate to public perceptions) <\/strong>than devising any common strategy. The recent victory of the Congress against the BJP in the Karnataka Assembly elections has had a mixed impact on unity efforts. Some regional parties such as the Bharat Rashtra Samithi of Telangana now feel more threatened by the Congress than by the BJP. Parties such as the Samajwadi Party of Uttar Pradesh and the Trinamool Congress of West Bengal want the Congress to vacate the field or <strong>play second fiddle (have a subordinate role to someone or something; be treated as less important than someone or something)<\/strong> for the sake of a common candidate against the BJP in every constituency. Janata Dal (United) chief and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who is <strong>at the forefront of (in a leading position)<\/strong> the unity effort, is not at the peak of his popularity or credibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chemistry of any alliance is different from its arithmetic. The coming together of parties or leaders does not automatically lead to their voters coming together, as past experiences show. If at all the <strong>uphill (Against difficulties) <\/strong>objective of a single joint candidate against the BJP is achieved, that will be no guarantee of victory for the Opposition. It is natural for parties to change their views over time, but voters are smart enough to tell opportunism from an evolution of positions. A <strong>stark (Against difficulties) <\/strong>case in point is of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which rose to prominence by calling each of these Opposition leaders names, but now seeks their support to preserve its own power. There have to be some broad principles that tie parties of various ideological persuasions together. Federalism and secularism can be principles that bind the Opposition, and here again, AAP\u2019s <strong>vacillations (Indecision in speech or action) <\/strong>are instructive. Attempts to shield leaders credibly accused of corruption in the name of secularism or federalism also may not go down well with the public. While calling into question the BJP\u2019s excesses and its problematic agenda, the Opposition parties must also introspect and take corrective measures to win public confidence. They must also anticipate <strong>multi-pronged (two\/three different ways of achieving the same aim)<\/strong> responses by the BJP in the months ahead.<\/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>Do you want to update your vocabulary on an ongoing basis?
