What happened in Karnataka? All the exit polls were left stunned. Yedi’s magic remained and Congress leader Siddha-Shivkumar’s pair won the stronghold. It can be said that the work of irrigation in this victory of Congress was done by Rahul Gandhi’s visit. However, the biggest thing about this election was that elections based on religion for years, right from Karnataka, have returned to the basic issues – like bread, water, price rise, unemployment.

This is a good sign for Indian politics. There are many other reasons for this massive defeat of BJP and victory of Congress. First reason- Congress had promised to ban Bajrang Dal. BJP has made him Bajrang Bali. Thought that only Bajrang Bali would bring the lifeblood of power. They also brought But he gave Sanjeevani to the Congress. Drought-bald mountain came to BJP’s share.

Actually, BJP’s issues are decided from Delhi. The input of North-Central India is more in them. Whatever the rest of India may consider Bajrang Dal, but the people of South consider it only as an organization and they accepted the same.

Second reason- As happened in the last election, the BJP considered the Lingayat community as its biggest pawn. This was the reason why he put forward the elderly Yeddyurappa. Both the leaders who went from BJP to Congress and these results have decided that Yeddy has not only grown old but also politically. BJP had thought that they would attract Lingayat votes like a magnet but people turned it into a vote against corruption.

Because the results show that in seats with more than 20 percent Lingayat voters, the Congress’s share of victory is no less than that of the BJP. … And the one who has been the Chief Minister of BJP – Vasavaraj Bommai, had no magic left in his pocket except being the son of the great SR Bommai.

Third reason- This time both Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka held meetings in Modi style. Years later it happened that the strike rate of victory in the areas where Rahul’s meetings were held is more than that of Modi. Congress has won at least 30 percent of the seats in the areas where Priyanka’s meetings are held. Apart from this, anti-incumbency played the most important role. It was against the government anyway. It was also against the existing MLAs.

This is the reason why it has suffered loss even in the coastal region which is considered as BJP’s stronghold. It also did not have a one-sided victory in JDS’s bastion old Mysore. Similarly, the Hyderabad-Karnataka region, which was a bastion of the Congress, gave it a duck. It also seems that the voter of Karnataka was fed up with the manipulative government, so he voted in anger this time. The tradition of Deve Gowda becoming or continuing to be the kingmaker of regional parties like JDS was completely destroyed.

The interesting statistic is that except Congress, no one got a clear majority here. In 1989, the Congress won 178 seats with a thumping majority. Then in 1994 it got 136 and in 1999 it got 132 seats. In 2013 also, Congress could get a clear majority with 122 seats.

If Karnataka goes by the means of victory, then Congress will have an upper hand in the elections of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh. By upperhand it is meant that at least the Congress worker here will not remain in the ocean of despair. Although the effect of Lok Sabha and Vidhansabha elections is different, yet it seems that these results of Karnataka will surely pose a challenge to the BJP in the 2024 general elections.

The answer to the question of who will become the Chief Minister will have to wait for two-three more days. Although the meeting of the Congress Legislature Party was held on Sunday itself, but as has been happening in the Congress, in every meeting of the Legislature Party, the decision is left to the high command, the same happened on Sunday. The question has remained in its place for years that when the decision has to be taken by the high command every time, then why pretend to have a meeting of the Legislature Party? By the way, BJP is also no different from Congress in this matter. There also all the decisions for the post of leader have been coming from Delhi only.
