The Hindu  

If the opposition stands effectively with a vision, it will be very difficult for the BJP to win the 2024 general elections former Congress President Rahul Gandhi said while asserting that Congress alone can provide the central ideological framework among opposition forces. But the opposition has to coordinate properly and go to people with an alternative vision.But there is a strong undercurrent against the BJP,” Mr. Gandhi said answering a question on opposition unity. When the reporters flagged Mr. Yadav’s recent comments where he said, that the BJP is merely following the Congress playbook, when it comes to misusing security agencies against the opposition parties, Mr. Gandhi said, that Mr. Yadav is entitled to his view and that he has his own space. Underlining the importance of the Congress in the opposition space he said, “central ideological framework can be provided only by the Congress party.” The key to opposition unity, Mr. Gandhi insisted is mutual respect.
