Currently, INC remains the only viable opposition to BJP, however; it is relatively weak and needs to strengthen itself. BJP has already gained control of Indian higher judiciary, media, armed forces and various other social segments. Modi sarkar shall not hesitate to attempt political revolts in anti-BJP states in future. With every passing day, BJP is tightening its control over India and resultantly Indian secularism dying. BJP Govt is infusing extremism in Indian society and leading it to become the most intolerant environment in the world for minorities. Therefore, the saner elements in India need to support INC to counter BJP’s attempt to make India an exclusive Hindu fundamentalist state.
