Post-Bihar Message: Only Strong Alternatives Will Be Accepted The Bihar results have sent a clear signal — merely forming an anti-BJP alliance without a strong narrative is not enough. Voters prefer a powerful, credible candidate over loose alliances. This has created discomfort for parties projecting themselves as the primary opp...
