A reader from Mysuru (“Letters to the Editor”, August 6) has aired his views on how the Indian National Congress can emerge as the preferred choice in an electoral contest. However, the truth, bitter as it may be, is that a false and deceptive front of unity is what binds the Opposition in its one-point agenda of dethroning the BJP. Not one of them has any clear-cut policy on how to rectify the so-called “wrongs” of the BJP government. They should submit a list/schedule of what they feel has gone wrong along with the details of how they are going to set things right. We also need to know the methods they are going to use to relieve people of the so-called difficulties under the Narendra Modi government. Mere wailing from every available platform without data and solutions will never convince anybody. For the leaders of the varied Opposition parties, the sole goal seems to be only to become the Prime Minister. How are they going to convince the electorate that they can be an alternative to the BJP?
