Yogendra Yadav, founding member of the Swaraj India party, attends a last rites ceremony for people who died when a convoy allegedly carrying the son of a top official in Indian Prime Minister Modi's cabinet drove into a crowd of protesting farmers killing eight people in total, in Tikunia, Uttar Pradesh, India, on Tuesday, Oct. 12, 2021. Modi's opponents in the state raced to the crash scene, but instead of joining forces, they all held separate rallies. The competing political events highlighted a key reason Modi continues to dominate Indian politics: Opposition parties have failed to cooperate, effectively splitting the electorate who opposes his Hindu-dominant BJP.
