There was excellent news for Congress for the primary time since 2018, when the voters of Karnataka gave a transparent mandate to the social gathering. In the 224-seat Assembly, Congress received 136 seats, 56 greater than final time, whereas BJP misplaced 40 seats. It managed to win solely 65 seats. Though BJP misplaced within the numbers recreation, there was no decline within the social gathering’s voting share. It obtained 36 laptop votes, the identical that it obtained 5 years in the past. Congress vote share rose by six per cent, out of which 5 laptop votes got here from Janata Dal(S). This was the principle purpose why the Congress by no means dreamt it might win so many seats, whereas the BJP by no means imagined it might face such a defeat. This time, the Congress camp was alert, not like final time. It was able to face any scenario, its leaders had chartered plane prepared they usually had booked luxurious resorts to pack off their MLAs, if the election threw up a hung meeting. The predominant query: Why did BJP lose so closely? The purpose lies within the statements of Congress leaders, after the outcomes have been out. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge mentioned, the victory was the results of group work. Till now, BJP used to realize from infighting inside Congress, however this time Congress benefited from infighting inside BJP. Congress chief Siddaramiah mentioned, BJP misplaced due to the ’40 per cent commision sarkara’, the label that Congress caught on its rival. BJP couldn’t wash off that label. Till now, BJP used to nook Congress on the difficulty of corruption. Another Congress chief Jairam Ramesh mentioned, ‘we received due to the 5 ‘ensures’ that we gave to the individuals.’ BJP was caught napping because it anticipated votes from beneficiaries of all welfare measures taken by the Centre. Priyanka Gandhi mentioned, ‘we obtained votes as a result of we raised individuals’s points’. It is true as a result of BJP raised emotional points and stored its vote financial institution intact. Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel mentioned, ‘we received due to the blessings of Lord Bajrangbali’. BJP had raised the difficulty of “insult” to Lord Bajrangbali and had anticipated consolidation of Hindu votes, nevertheless it had opposed impact. Muslim voters absolutely backed the Congress to provide it a powerful win. Congress chief D Okay Shiv Kumar mentioned, when he was in jail, he had vowed to defeat BJP. On the opposite hand, there was lack of ardour and enthusiasm among the many BJP leaders and employees to defeat the Congress. BJP did not get votes from those that have been undecided. Most of the JD(S) votes went to Congress. It can be a undeniable fact that BJP waited until the final second anticipating a hung meeting that might have opened up the gates of vacation resorts, and the social gathering anticipated to kind a authorities, come what may. The individuals’s mandate was clear. Already, the race has begun for the put up of CM in Congress camp. Siddaramaiah is a former CM and one of many tallest Congress leaders in Karnataka. His stake for the put up is powerful, and he instantly flew by a chartered flight to Bengaluru quickly after his election from Varuna was declared. But state Congress chief D Okay Shiv Kumar can be within the race. He received the meeting election eight occasions, and micro-managed all the social gathering election marketing campaign. He toiled exhausting and his stake can be robust. In Karnataka, Congress leaders knew that the BJP can’t win the elections solely with the assistance of Modi. That is why, Congress leaders didn’t make private assaults on Modi and as an alternative raised the “40 per cent commission” and inefficiency points. Congress managed its factions and inner squabbles fastidiously, and leaders of all factions joined palms. On the opposite hand, BJP leaders have been busy in infighting, a number of of them have been sad for being denied tickets, Yeddyurappa and Bommai tried to show their very own supremacy, the state authorities’s efficiency was under common, and the social gathering couldn’t reply successfully to the fees of corruption. To sideline corruption and inefficiency points, BJP took the assistance of Modi. Despite his greatest efforts, Modi’s marketing campaign couldn’t save the social gathering from defeat. By the time, Modi started his marketing campaign, the individuals of Karnataka had already made up their minds. The widespread individuals have been sad with the BJP authorities in Karnataka. BJP used its RSS community of sales space administration and ‘panna pramukhs’. Its organizing secretary B L Santhosh hails from Karnataka and he had full belief in his equipment. BJP employees labored, however lacked the verve to win. Like the Congress, they didn’t make this election a life-or-death situation. The consequence: individuals of Karnataka gave the Congress a decisive mandate. Rahul and Priyanka performed their function within the social gathering’s victory. Credit additionally goes to D Okay Shiv Kumar, Siddaramaiah and Mallikarjun Kharge. Let’s hope this brotherhood will probably be evident when the chief minister is elected within the legislative social gathering. For the BJP, it’s now time to develop a brand new management, put together a brand new floor by popping out from outdated webs.
GOOD NEWS FROM UP FOR BJP
BJP obtained excellent news from Uttar Pradesh, the place it made a clear sweep of all 17 posts of mayors within the city native physique elections. The social gathering’s ally, Apna Dal (Sonelal) additionally received each the meeting byelections from Swar and Chhanbey. The Swar seat was vacant after native SP strongman Azam Khan’s son Abdullah Azam was disqualified.

Had the BJP misplaced, Yogi Adityanath may have confronted issues from his rivals within the social gathering. Yogi has as soon as once more proved that regardless of how a lot caste primarily based leaders are indignant with him, the widespread persons are nonetheless behind him. By bettering legislation and order, ending prison gangs, and opening up new avenue of progress, Yogi has introduced advantages to BJP in all of the elections that it fought over the last seven years. The native our bodies ballot outcomes are alarming for Akhilesh Yadav’s Samajwadi Party. BJP, for the primary time, examined waters by fielding Muslim candidates who received. This may trigger fear for Samajwadi Party, which had been historically backed by Muslim voters. In some localities, SP candidates stood third.
