‘INDIA’ meet in Mumbai: Poster war reflects growing rift within opposition bloc
A poster war broke out in Mumbai on Tuesday ahead of the meeting of the opposition bloc ‘INDIA’. The posters, put up by the Congress and the Shiv Sena, featured different leaders of the bloc.
The Congress posters featured Rahul Gandhi, the party’s national leader, while the Shiv Sena posters featured Uddhav Thackeray, the party’s chief minister. The posters also had different slogans, with the Congress posters calling for a “united opposition” and the Shiv Sena posters calling for a “strong Maharashtra”.
The poster war is seen as a reflection of the growing rift within the opposition bloc. The Congress and the Shiv Sena are traditional allies, but they have been at loggerheads in recent months over a number of issues, including the leadership of the bloc and the upcoming assembly elections in Maharashtra.
The poster war is also seen as a test of the opposition unity ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The bloc is trying to put up a united front against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), but the poster war shows that there are still some cracks within the alliance.
It remains to be seen whether the opposition bloc will be able to overcome its differences and present a united front in the 2024 elections. However, the poster war is a sign that the bloc is facing some challenges ahead.
In addition to the poster war, there have been other signs of growing rift within the opposition bloc. For example, the Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) have been at odds over the issue of who should be the chief minister of Maharashtra if the bloc comes to power in the upcoming assembly elections.
The poster war and other signs of growing rift within the opposition bloc are a setback for the bloc’s efforts to present a united front against the BJP. However, it is still early days, and the bloc may be able to overcome its differences and present a united front in the 2024 elections.

The poster war has also led to clashes between workers of the Congress and the Shiv Sena. On Tuesday, Congress workers tore down posters of Uddhav Thackeray in Mumbai. Shiv Sena workers retaliated by tearing down posters of Rahul Gandhi.
The clashes have raised concerns about the ability of the opposition bloc to present a united front in the 2024 elections. The bloc is facing an uphill battle against the BJP, which is currently in power at the Centre and in many states.
The BJP has been quick to capitalize on the rift within the opposition bloc. Party leaders have accused the Congress and the Shiv Sena of being “disunited” and “incapable of defeating the BJP”.
The opposition bloc will need to overcome its differences and present a united front if it wants to defeat the BJP in the 2024 elections. The poster war is a setback for the bloc, but it is not yet a sign of doom. The bloc still has time to unite and present a challenge to the BJP.
The next meeting of the opposition bloc is scheduled to be held in Mumbai on Thursday. The meeting is expected to discuss the growing rift within the bloc and ways to overcome it. The bloc will also discuss its strategy for the 2024 elections.

The outcome of the meeting will be closely watched by the political pundits. If the bloc is able to overcome its differences and present a united front, it will be a major boost for its chances of defeating the BJP in the 2024 elections. However, if the bloc is unable to unite, it will be a major setback for its chances of defeating the BJP.
The poster war is a reminder of the challenges that the opposition bloc faces. However, it is also a reminder of the importance of unity for the opposition if it wants to defeat the BJP in the 2024 elections.
