Shifting Political Goalpost

The recent local Municipal election in Maharashtra are any indication, bjp  inspite of  local anti-govt violent protest has won handsomely in Sangli and  Jalgaon  Municipality. The Chief Minister of Maharashtra has led from the front in the run up to these election. Shiv Sena has come poorly second.Others like NCP,Congress has been wiped out.if this trend continues in 2019 in run up to Much anticipated General Election in May,bjp will fare much better without Shiv Sena in Maharashtra.
The opposition parties are clueless about their fate in the 2019 general election ,hence some talk of united opposition without a PM face is being talked about in the political circles.The Delima   of the opposition is that Rahul Gandhi has been given the Mandate by CWC to be projected as PM face of 2019.there are no taker in opposition parties for him.Congress will not play along the lines of Mahaghatbandan without Rahul Gandhi as its projected leader.Mayawati and Akilesh Yadav have made it clear that they will not fall into this Congress Trap,Mamta Banerjee is a fence sitter along with some other small regional parties for accommodating Rahul Gandhi.The scope of these fence sitter is limited and hence they will not in all likelihood join Mayawati and Akilesh Yadavs group.
The question iswhy  the opposition  shifting the goalpost to counter the bjp led NDA alliance.without fact cheaking  of the  ground reality,they jump to any eye catching news headline or decision taken by the ruling party.The Assam new registry is a SC monitored process and when, only the final draft has been presented TMC has created a ruckus to play mind games for inclusion of 40 lac identified aliens in Assam for electoral gains.this mind game will not succeed and contrary might boomerang on her own state of west bengal.
Regional players in recent No Confidence motion against the ruling party has been very cautious in not  supporting the motion ,hence were is the question of united front Victory. BJD, TRS will try to hold on to their own fort rather be a part of united front and losing seats in 2019.
The larger question then is " why" is the opposition trying to unite when they know that max they will get 150 seats.in south NDA will with new alliance partners will do well in TN,Karnataka,Andhra Pradesh and might open account in Kerala.
The opposition in North East might find it difficult to pass more then 3 to 5 seats.
In order to hype any some incidents across the country,the opposition is raking up any issue which might not find a mention in media.be small incidences of violence and give it communal colour to questioning of Surgical strikes.in their misadventuism  they have been supported by the Urban Naxal,Luyten"s liberal media and other anti-Indian support Platform.successful social reforms and 
 welfare schemes of the NDA gvt has been questioned by the opposition inspite of its tremendous success,

The voters can see and sense the deception and know that there is no alternate to PM Modi .they also know that if voted to power,the United opposition will first fight among themselves for PM post and take India backward by 20 years by repealing all decision and measures taken By the current Central Govt.We can say that changing political goalpost will not sway the youth of this country they  are the backbone of PM Modi and decision by them to re elect the NDA has already been taken.
