Is it true that the ruling BJP, its supremo Prime Minister Modi and principal strategist Amit Shah, who likes to be called a modern-day Chanakya have made some terrible miscalculation that may cause them dearly in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections?

The question is not in the public domain so far and the BJP-RSS think tank will never admit it publicly. But it is quite apparent that the intense over 9-year campaign of the saffron brigade to run down Nehru, target Sonia Gandhi and her family and lampoon Rahul Gandhi has now hit a dead end.

The BJP's intense campaign against the Nehru-Gandhi family may have reached a dead end, with Rahul Gandhi announcing that neither he nor anyone from his family will be the face of the Opposition alliance INDIA in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

The Opposition has chosen Mallikarjun Kharge, a seasoned Dalit leader from Karnataka, to lead the charge against the BJP.

 Kharge has successfully united the Opposition ranks and is a formidable opponent, with no corruption charges and a reputation for sharp political attacks. The BJP cannot risk alienating the Dalit electorate by attacking Kharge, making him a strong and strategic choice for the Opposition.

The BJP's previous victories were due to a split in the Opposition votes, but a united Opposition front led by Kharge poses a significant challenge for the ruling party.

In a masterstroke by the Gandhi family nullifying all their calculations, Rahul Gandhi has made it clear that neither he nor anyone from the Gandhi family will be the face of the Opposition group of the 26-party alliance known as I.N.D.I.A to challenge Modi in the 2024 elections.

Those among the media and the BJP who had been asking who would be the Dulha in the Opposition seem to have got the answer.

The man who has been almost accepted by all the parties to lead the charge against the BJP and has been chosen for this challenge is Mallikarjun Kharge, a tough nut to crack for the entire BJP and RSS army.

The 81-year-old, Dalit leader from Karnataka who heads the Congress now is a seasoned politician who has not only revived the party with his organizational skills but has filled the dormant Congress with vigor and vitality. His list of CWC members which includes people like Shashi Tharoor, Manish Tewari and Anand Sharma proves that he can carry everyone together.

Not only this with his quiet diplomacy Kharge has brought about cohesion and unity in the Opposition ranks. Nobody thought that he would be able to resolve sharp contradictions between Congress and other Opposition parties so smoothly and bring them all on a powerful anti-BJP platform now called INDIA.

In both the 2014 as well as in 2019 General elections, the BJP obtained the absolute majority in the Lok Sabha, polling less than 38% of the total votes polled. The BJP's much-hyped victories were made possible because of the split in the Opposition votes.

A united Opposition front led by Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge is not the only worry of the BJP leadership. The problem is that they cannot attack Kharge as they could attack Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Mamata Banerjee, Lalu Prasad and Kejriwal. For one, they have no corruption or other charges against Kharge, who has suddenly appeared as a dark horse, and there is no time left to build a campaign against him.

Then as far as political attacks and counter-attacks are concerned he is a sharpshooter. His attacks on the BJP in general and Modi in particular are lethal both in and outside Parliament. 

But more than this, the BJP leadership cannot afford to attack Kharge as he is a Dalit and the BJP cannot risk its carefully cultivated base among the 20% strong Dalit electorate spread all over the county. Any malicious campaign against Kharge will severely damage whatever little base that is left of the BJP in South India.

To give the command to Kharge is the most brilliant strategy of the Opposition in its grim electoral battle with the ruling party. And this is what Opposition leaders seem to have done showing maturity and good political sense.
