more-inShow of unityThe display of unity of various Opposition leaders indicates that 2019 is going to be a contest between the BJP and the rest (“A spark for Opposition unity”, May 24). As for the BJP, the Karnataka election has shown that there is no such thing as one-party dominance. Kangayam R. Narasimhan,ChennaiThis show of Opposition unity shows that all the other political parties are scared to take on the BJP on their own. This betrays a defeatist mindset and may even result in voters sympathising with the BJP as it is being singled out. If the Opposition is really serious about defeating the BJP, it should expose the chinks in the BJP’s armour.
