As it becomes clear that the next Lok Sabha elections will be announced in March, there is a rush to build coalition alliances. Rahul Gandhi’s Congress party has decided to form working fronts in each state, stitching together a larger national front against the BJP in the 2019 elections. BJP president Amit Shah’s strategy, it seems, is to not let such a front emerge or break it wherever it evolves. The enforcement agencies have gone into overdrive. And that is a sign of political blackmail and image-building, since many leaders fear that they are under their lens. The political equations have been simplified into an “either you are with us or against us” binary. In the next 60 days, the fence-sitters will have to decide either way. Those who cannot decide soon enough, the enforcement agencies will ensure they hurry. Both the BJP as well as the Congress are showing openness in winning friends.
