Opposition's strategy messed up in the presidential election, the turmoil in Maharashtra further aggravated the crisis

President Election: The opposition was not even united properly regarding the presidential election that NDA has created a big challenge for her by announcing the name of tribal woman candidate Draupadi Murmu. With this bet of NDA, the possibility of many non-NDA parties to join him has also increased, while it is also being said that the opposition candidate is also weakening in front of Murmu.

The opposition has fielded Yashwant Sinha. He had switched from BJP to Trinamool sometime back and was made a candidate for the post of President from Trinamool Congress. On this, many parties, including the Congress, agreed as if they were just completing a formality. Experts say that Yashwant Sinha has been in the BJP for a long time, so there does not seem to be any concrete vision and strategy from the opposition in declaring him as the Presidential candidate.

On the other hand, so far many parties including TRS have not supported his candidature. Before the NDA, the opposition had declared a candidate, about which there was a perception that it could not present a candidate in whose name the entire opposition could be united. Especially those parties which are in opposition but remain neutral like BJD, TRS, YSR, Aam Aadmi Party etc.

apply multiple equations at once

By making Murmu a candidate, the NDA has worked out many equations at once. He is from Odisha, so as expected, BJD has also announced his support. With the support of the BJD, the one percent vote deficit that the NDA had, seems to be going away. Several other smaller parties may also come out in support of the tribal women candidate. There will also be pressure on the JMM whether to support or not to oppose the tribal women candidate.

The turmoil in Maharashtra aggravates the crisis

Apart from this, when the atmosphere of presidential election was heating up, then the threat posed on the Maha Vikas Aghadi government in Maharashtra has increased this crisis. NCP chief Sharad Pawar, who was taking the command of the opposition in his hands in the presidential election, has started saving the government. At the last moment, the wrong message has been sent that the opposition is not able to save its government, then how will it give competition to the NDA in the presidential election.

On the other hand, if the rebel MLAs of Shiv Sena go with the BJP, the BJP will not only form the government in the state, but it will also be strengthened for the presidential election. The vote value of MLA in Maharashtra is 175. In this way, about seven-and-a-half thousand additional votes will be arranged for NDA.
