the victory of bharatiya janata party in karnataka is a trendsetter of sorts. if the government is formed , and it is most likely, this will be the first in south . The impact will befelt over neighbouring states too.More, the lok sabha elections are round the corner and the processmay be speeded up’.
south of vindhyas has epic connections.tradition has it that all auspicious beginnings here shall endure for long. Lord Rama, for instance, started his long journey to defeat the demon king Ravana from here. In Mahabharata too thereare references of similar nature.
The BJP is three short of majority to form the government but this may not present any problem.Thjere are six independents.they may opt to support the government from within or without. Thje people have spoken and spoken in favour of siongle party rule and BJP.The stakes are high and the elected representatives are in no mood to go through the ordeal again.
Many stalwarts have fallen on the wayside and one of them is Mr Dharam singh who would have figured in the guiness book if he had won in Jewargi.The Janata dal-s state president mirajuddin patel too lost.So did Mr MP Prakash and former chief minister Bangarappa and his sons. Thus ends the dynasty ambitions of Mr Bangarappa for the present.
Yet another dynasty is down but not out.Both the sons of Mr devegowda have won though the party came a poor third with less than 30 seats.the lesson is clear.
the ones who were riding the high horse have been brought down.one hopes the BJP would retain its peole friendly nature even after coming to power.
