Just as the first thought in my mind about this assembly elections in karnataka i would like to rephrase the definition for democracy - "For the business, by the business and to the business". With candidates representing their businesses and running high on big money this would possibly bring in a shift in the way people think about democracy!
Anyways...The Karnataka Assembly elections are over now and the results are out. Much to the surprise of everyone BJP run away with honors falling short of just 3 seats to form a majority!!
Though I missed out on the chance for voting.. thanks to the brilliant work done by the electoral team.. I followed it up closely.. for the first time though! mainly because of all the fuss that happened prior to the elections.
With a meager turn out on the voting day, people did not give any chance for BJP in this elections. But credit for some well planned campaigning and probably the sympathy following , mainly due to the unfair politics played to perfection by the JDS.
With the likes of Veerappa Moily, Oscar Fernandes, SM Krishna, Dharam Singh, Mallikarjuna Karge, Janardhan Poojary, HK Patil, Siddharamiah and so many having taken up the ultimate posts in Karnataka, the reason for the poor results for Congress is something that may be worth a look. Fighting among themselves to prove their supremacy might have costed them dearly. Candidates from Congress try to work closely with the centre.. which in a way will help their growth.. but does not do any good to gain confidence of the people which by the way is the most important factor in democracy. Its better They decentralize their power and let each region work independently as per the requirement of that particular region.
As far as JDS is concerned I guess people of Karnataka has understood they are an opportunistic party and decided to teach them a lesson. Finally lets hope Deve Gowda has understood that its not easy now to fool people easily :)
All credit to BJP and finally people of Karnataka are happy to have a single party governance and lets hope that Karnataka prospers under a stable government. Its a long road ahead for BJP, who need to prove that they are better than the rest when it comes to governance and lets hope Congress reorganizes and regroups themselves. They have some serious postmortem to be done now.
Alls well that ends well!!
