Yes, the tip of the opposition's spear in Bihar will be 16 Bihar, response to Galwan, proof from BJP that PLA fatalities were >21, and that status quo ante has been restored. Public will see through blanket media coverage.
BJP will learn the hard way just how much mind-space the Indian public has for the armed forces. Uri and Balakot won BJP elections. Lack of a substantial response to Galwan will cost BJP Bihar first, and UP next. Even a public hanging of Aditya and Rhea in Patna just before voting day won't matter.
Opposition has no visibility in Bihar right now. With SSR and 16 Bihar there is a pro nationalist wave which is exactly what the BJP wants to move focus away from floods and economy.
People of Bihar do not want Tejasvi Lalu jungle raj in the middle of an epidemic.
Indian RW have a bad habit of encouraging self inflicted wounds. This is exactly what the 'trained Marxist' wants to fester.
Realistically India will need till atleast 2023 to be ready for a defensive two front war and 2026 till offensive war at bare minimum.
This includes 'territory swaps'. That's why GoI is buying time. AK 203 will start production in October. Artillery by 2021. All Rafale will arrive by 2022, in time for second order.
Also no business will be moving to India in a war scenario. This is the only chance of India in the 21st century to steal manufacturing and R&D from China.
Like Shakuni, we must starve today to destroy the Kauravas tomorrow.
Economic boycott/bans do hurt. There are signs all over :
5G Open RAN network divorcing future communication spectrum and infrastructure from China.
Chinese stockpiling food due to ecological disasters and possible riots.
Chinese trying to fight on all fronts.
This is the behavior of a porcupine not a charging warthog.
