The INDIA alliance, which emerged as a strong opposition in the Lok Sabha elections, has got another chance to show its political strength after its huge success in the by-elections in seven states. By winning 10 seats in the by-elections held on 13 assembly seats in seven states, the opposition alliance INDIAA has got a big dose of political pressure on the Modi government just before the upcoming budget session of Parliament, the political impact of which is almost certain to be seen during the session.

Opposition is sure to get energy

Especially after the Faizabad-Ayodhya seat in the Lok Sabha elections, the defeat of BJP in the Badrinath assembly seat of Uttarakhand is sure to give new energy to the opposition to attack it. Congress, which won the Badrinath seat, has also made clear its intention to continue attacking the ideological politics of BJP by saying that the public has rejected the use of religion for political gain.

Congress' hopes got strength

The special thing about the by-election results is that while the parties in the opposition alliance have kept their strongholds intact, they have also dealt a blow to the BJP-NDA alliance in some states. The by-election results are particularly promising for the Congress, which is leading the NDA, because the party has performed strongly in the two hill states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, where it has a direct contest with the BJP.

Congress got a chance to attack

All three seats in Himachal were with independents, out of which Congress has snatched two from them. In Uttarakhand too, the party has won both the seats including the prestigious seat of Badrinath in the by-elections. After Ayodhya in the Lok Sabha elections, now the defeat of BJP in the Badrinath assembly by-election has given Congress another opportunity to attack it.
