尽管在2026年选举前, 印度的基层抗御力很强, 但由于人民党的主导地位和内部分裂, 印度左翼势力不断下降, India's Left struggles with declining influence due to BJP dominance and internal divisions, despite grassroots resilience ahead of 2026 elections.

CPI MP John Brittas指出, 由于宗教两极分化和右翼统治日益加剧, 印度左翼的影响力正在下降, CPI MP John Brittas said India's Left faces declining influence due to rising religious polarization and right-wing dominance, with the movement now largely confined to Kerala. 他将衰退归因于宗教紧张、身份政治以及人民党对右翼空间的吸收，迫使国大党采取左倾言论，却未实现真正的意识形态转变。 He attributed the decline to communal tensions, identity politics, and the BJP's absorption of the right-wing space, which has forced Congress to adopt left-leaning rhetoric without genuine ideological change. Brittas批评国会的经济政策仍然是右翼的,并指出,在第二届UPA政府执政期间腐败是丧失信誉的证据。 Brittas criticized Congress's economic policies as still right-wing and pointed to corruption during the second UPA government as evidence of lost credibility. 他强调指出,左翼和基层行动(如马哈拉施特拉邦农民游行)中不断出现内部反省,这是2026年州选举前恢复力的表现。 He highlighted ongoing internal reflection within the Left and grassroots actions like the Maharashtra farmers' march as signs of resilience ahead of 2026 state elections.
