With the recent win of BJP in Karnataka elections, it is evident what the dance of democracy can do to politicians who take the power that people bestowed on them for granted. Humiliated Gowda should learn a lesson from this defeat.
In the recent past of Karnataka, people have seen all the reasons why politics is a hatred word for the ethic loving people. Gowda’s antics of supporting congress to stop BJP just because of so called communal tag attached to it and His over action of opposing his son who aligned with BJP for power and later betrayal are the biggest drama played on the stage of Karnataka politics. I cant stop laughing when the castiest Gowda talks about communal politics. As far as I can remember Deve Gowda is one of the worst PMs we have seen in this country. The image of a sleeping PM was a common site during his tenure.
Congress on the other hand lost one of the only two significant states it used to be in power in South India. This defeat comes as another one in the series of states where it lost elections in recent past. The most worrying factor for Congress party should be the establishment of BJP as a force to deal it to the south of Vindhyas. BJP which was always seen as the party that belong to COW belt ( Bihar, MP, UP, Gujarat, Rajastan, HP states) made a grand entry into the non-hindi speaking state of Karnataka. BJP got a big shot in the arm to continue this momentum when people in the states it rules currently are coming up for elections in less than a year time.
Post election, while BJP is basking in the glory of forming its own first ever government ( 10 days of earlier rule is a coalition govt), JD(S) and Congress are yet to learn the lessons from defeat.
The Congress still want to insulate PM and Sonia from any of the critics. Madam always can do no wrong. PM is always not interested in politics of blame. Its local politics, blame it on everyone to anyone for self defeat. S.M Krishna and Kapil Sibal should be commended though for acknowledging a better run campaign by BJP. All credit goes to Arun Jaitley the master manager.
Hope the people of Karnataka can see some development happening this time.
this good things
