Is an Opposition Unity Possible?

The Maha Vikas Aghadi is an example that opposition unity is possible. The state-level coalition has been formed under the leadership of Shiv Sena’s Uddhav Thhackeary, Sharad Pawar of NCP, and Sonia Gandhi of Congress along with the Samajwadi Party, PWPI, CPI (M), and smaller parties and independent MLAs. 

As the BJP holds a strong foot today, the opposition parties have been fighting hard to form an alliance that will allow them to unite and provide people with an alternative and put up a fight against the BJP.
