Road Ahead
The fight against rising infections may have silenced the opposition and pushed PM Modi's many challenges to the back-burner, but the path ahead is less certain.
When the country is eventually able to exit its lockdown, the prime minister will be questioned about a strategy to help the economy back on its feet, said Sandeep Shastri, a political scientist and Pro Vice Chancellor at Jain University in Bangalore."The response to the questions will be the barometer to measure the success of the current leadership."
The main opposition Congress party says it is waiting for virus fears to abate before it puts PM Modi to the test. The pandemic makes political mobilization difficult, said Manish Tewari, a spokesman for the Congress party. "Nothing else focuses the mind more than the possibility of invisible and lurking death be it on a door knob or a mirror."
There's been limited opposition from other political parties as well, although state governments have complained the federal government has corralled finances even as they struggle to find funds to scale up their medical infrastructure.
And the protests that rocked India's streets until just before the spread of the virus and the subsequent lockdown, are also still simmering.
"The protests will not end," said Muzakkir Zama Khan, a lawyer who was was part of the demonstrations against the government's new citizenship law. "The means of expressing our viewpoint may, however, have to change."
