Karnataka has voted for a stable Govt. this time. It has voted against the family politics, it has voted against opportunistic politics, it has voted against the babudoms, it has voted against the Long time no see kind of politics, it has voted against "You say what you say, I...

With the triumphant electoral win in Gujurat last year and in Karnataka now, BJP must ponder as to where its strength and weakness lies. As a party which started its fledgling years as a political arm to RSS; when it was dependent on RSS and its Parivar for organizing and...

Question asked by CNN IBN is valid question. It is very difficult to state that will this election victory revive fortunes of BJP during 2009 General Elections? May be or May not be? Each time election is lost by either of the two national parties, each time this question is...

BJP has done well to secure 110 seats and more importantly, more than the Cong and JD(S) combine put together. Unfortunately, even though the arithmetic is met, it is still not an easy situation for the BJP. They would need the support of at least 10 more MLAs to complete...

Another Cong bastion falls to the BJP. Only the strategically blind or a die-hard Cong lover would have not seen it coming. There were all the ingredients ready to make BJP the single largest party in the elections,,if not given them an outright majority - JD(S) playing greed politics with...

One of the rationales given for Congress defeat in Karnataka poll is split in "SECULAR" vote. For those giving this explanation, will you please look at the result of SHIKARIPURA? This clearly proves the fallacy in this explanation. Do not look beyond SHIKARIPURA to find answer for this. If they...

The much awaited Karnataka Assembly election result has provided a great relief to all. It is heartening to see that the majority of voters have preferred a stable Government as against the pollsters / political pundits prediction of a hung Assembly. In my opinion poll study in April (Karnataka Blogs...

The educated class of India, which hardly cares to vote, is deeply aware and pessimistic about the heavy dose of psuedo-secularism on the platter of politics or the media. The uneducated/illiterate impoverished voter class has been getting fooled since generations. I am not sure if BJP or NDA will form...

BJP won the elections on issues like price rise and terrrorism. Important issues - but, can the new government do anything that can contain the twin cancer affecting this country? HARDLY.The two issues above will remain the core concerns of the voter in the days to come and will definitely...

Finally the Silicon City Of India decided who should lead the state. It has been a remarkable change in voting pattern which opted for change. The change finally a stable single party government. This has a led to an optimism among the people that the government is accountable and would...

sir india is suffering in the hands of unprincipled politicians is a known fact .but none could do a dent in the system . i would fully appreciate one entity has evolved by natural process once the media graduated to electronic media after the development of technology .how far...

Ha Ha Ha...So finally who has the left laugh??Any guesses??No price though for the correct guess. Its BJP of course!!! After being thrown out of power in 7 days in what could be the first BJP government in South India, Deve Gowda was back at what he did best, topple...

Congress and UPA has 3 point Agenda:1. Appeasement: Appease farmers, they are the biggest vote bank (Farm Loan Waiver).2. Appeasement: Appease Backward Caste, they are the second biggest vote bank (Try to woo them by giving reservation in higher studies).3. Appeasement: Appease minority and small sub-groups they are next in...

It looks like BJP is getting it's act together to rule at the centre again. This was just a trailer in Karnataka. The whole movie is yet to be unveiled. Kudos to all the BJP workers involved. Well... I think the main mistake Congress made was - not focusing on...

Both Congress and BJP should learn from the result.You cant win elections just on family charisma or a specfic slogan.Any attempts to appease a specfic section of the society will only harm national parties as it would alientate the voters of other sections.Reservation politics will only benefit caste based parties.For...

The Indian National Congress, one of the oldest parties in the country now must find itself wondering what the relevance of the party is.With issues like development and Governance on the backburner, it has sought to reinvent itself as a party that caters to the minorities and the weaker sections...

One of the significant election of 2008 with which BJP is most likely to make its own government in South India. With Congress ruling the state for several decades with no development programs for the state and then JD(S) which never looked like had any programs to improve the state,...

I feel that the congress should behave like a responsible opposition. From the reports comming from the JDS, they are willing to form the government. Congres just dont do that blunder as Gowdas are well know for Backstabbing. After 10-15 months they will show the true colours.What the congress will...

The last four years have taken a huge toll on the progress of Karnataka and if the results are to go by, it would stand as a desperate cry and a vote for progress that came to a real grinding halt in this period due to non-functioning Governments.During these four...

For the first time in some time, people have voted more sensibly keeping a stable government in mind. That brings an end to opportunistic politics by JD(S). We expect BJP to work towards real problem of whole karnataka and be in power forever. Well done BJP, now its time to...

Congratulations for winning 110 seats to the assembly and now beoming the chief minister,sir.I hope there is a long term plan for your party to ensure that all citizens are treated equally and there is no bias for the majority against the minorities- the NDA worked well at the centre,...

Kharge and the senior leaders effectively convinced the congress high Command to relegate S M Krishna to the back seat. Not only that, denying him a seat to contest, Krishna became the proverbial 'DHOBI KAA KUTTA', He had left the Maharashtra gubernatorial position in dream of a big post in...

BJP is in with a chance to form a govt in south india for the first time. Think folloowing are the imp points to be in the immediate agenda of new Govt.1. Eliminate naxal & terrorist activities.2. Give boost to agriculture.3. Give priority to development of smaller cities like Mysore,...

hibeing a responsible citizen i would like to react to what jds sources have said..... they say that they will form the govt if cong support them... dont you think they are behaving unmaturedly..... they are so shameless that having just 28 votes they want to form the govt... we...

I am happy that at least this time there would a single ruling political party in the state. I hope they keep up to their promises (I certainly am not sure what they are but, there is a single party majority)and sincerely work towards the betterment of the state as...

It is really surprising that JD(S) still manage to get 33 (leaad+results). I still don't understand how come people can vote for JD(S) kind of party who only did opportunistic politics. 33 still a number too high as compared to their expectation of 40-50. I think B'loreans and remaining of...

From the Kartanataka election outcome it is pretty clear that the Congress has failed, and BJP is successfully retain its more seats compare to last election, Only one right person from congress is SM Krishna and there are 2 culprits are Dharm Singh and Kharge these ministers are insects in...

Sitting down here in Adelaide glued to CNN IBN watching things unfold in Karnataka, I am not sure what to celebrate more, the demise of party made of unscrupulous elements (Gowda and his ilk) or the blooming of the lotus! Any which way, it is celebration time!I am heaving a...

JD(S) has lost miserably, they betrayed BJP, this is a big lesson for the parties to follow minimum ethics. It is good that people voted BJP and giving almost half of the seats, so that they can form the govt. on their own. Let us hope, BJP will do the...

Hello Political Leaders,This is Shivaraj Soushetty a True Kannadiga (Hyderabad Karnataka), ver unfortunate I could not vote this time as I am in California, US.Please try to look into the root cause of issues from now.You could now understand that Indians are no more selling their Vote for Color TV,...

Time has come to realise that in India democracy should not be held hostage to n- number of political parties, which exists only to disrupt any process.Karnataka has shown the way that what could be the consequences if the thread are stretched too far. JD supremos, The Gowda's, not only...

Its a very clear mandate for the BJP. The last thing that we want is another hung assembly which will give room for all the dirty games of politics. Really one can't believe how Congress change their word by telling that they can look into forming an alliance with JD(S),...

Finally the BJP has got the power in Karnataka.This time people have voted for change and hopefully the BJP is able to bring that change.It is clear that people wanted to give a chance to BJP. Of course, the sympathy and the price rise factor/s have also played a vital...

This is a common preception that the oldest party of India is doing every thing to woo the muslim voters. They clearly understands that the they can take on other section of the society based on the caste basis. Therefore, claiming that it is BJP who is disintegrating the society...

Though the BJP has won Karnatka, the election cannot be seen as a referendum on the UPA. Its a fact that Congress lost more of it votes to JD(S). All the more because the Congress too gained by 10-15 seats.Thereal test will be the elections to Delhi, MP, rajasthan &...

It gives me immense pleasure to see one single largest party claiming the numbers to form the goverment, thanks to the precise judgementof the people.BJP had not been tried in the past and I feel that time had come for us to change our perceptions about the party.To enhance our...

As you sow, so you reap - cliched but true for JD(S). The party has paid of its immoral values, for cheating the BJP in the 20-20 coalition arena. The BJP deserves this much needed victory. Its cadres have met with a lot of injustice in the past months. However...

which ever party comes to power,will their attitude towards TamilNAdu change?It has been deliberately harnessed for decades together in the minds of few emotional people & being used has a vote bank strategy .Sometimes Karnataka acts like a separate country not even respecting tne Supreme Court. Will there be an...

IT IS BRAZEN SHAMELESSNESS ON PART OF CONGRESS LEADERS TO BLAME BJP OF CASTE POLITICS IN KARNATAKA.WHAT HAS BEEN ARJUN SINGH DOING SINCE 2004? CHAMPIONING OBC & MINORITY CASTE POLITICS.IT IS A MOMENT OF RELIEF FOR MARGINALISED & DEPRIVED SECTIONS OF UPPER CASTES TO SEE CONGRESS THRASHED IN ELECTIONS AFTER...

Hi!I am a young doctor living in Los Angeles,California & I am keenly following this election.People of Karnataka needs a stable Government for a better Economy,Healthcare,Education,Agriculture,Infrastruture & Internal Security.Now lets request all parties to put their differences & work together for the progress of Karnataka for bringing a change &...

First of all, Let me tell you that this result won't effect 2009 General elections; by seeing the figures we can tell that Congress improved when compared to previous polls in Karnataka.Congress should work hard for the coming General elections 2009; if they concentrate in the north Karnataka region for...

I am 25 yr old and well educated. It clearly appears for any rational mind that BJP is by far a better administrative and unifying party. On the other congress is a timid, dividing and incapable party. If one has to go by the fact that rational minds make better...

politics has indeed come to full circle in ktk, what is heartning is to see that there seems to be majority to a single party & not an alliance, so there wont be marraiges kind of thing on politics and one party will look forward to implement atleast whatever it...

BJP can now, finally, form the govt on its own. Its a great relief that the Gowdas are out of the race and they can't hold the state to ransom anymore. The result has clearly indicated that the once Congress stronghold state has moved on and has EMBRACED BJP wholeheartedly.The...

Guv should not allow any party to form coalition, and invite the party which has got more number of seats to form the government, as these coalitions are made by the parties for their own benefits and not for the country, And if it is allowed, there is no respect...

Hello Rajdeep,Bangalore growth has for the past five years been despite the instability in the government. Bangalore has had a tremendous influence on all of Karnataka's growth primarily through significant trickle-down economics. The people of Karnataka were fed up with the staggering impediment Deve Gowda and his cronies were to...

Today it is really shown how the people cannot be taken for a ride in a Democratic govt. The immature politics played by a single family in just aligning with different political parties without having a clear ethic or agenda..has really had a clear blow on the decline in JD(s)...

BJP have their wishes come true, now its time for them to provide their Governancy by making Karnataka recover from past political termoil that would have effected the states progressIts sad that we could not make it to these elections but anyway its nice to know the results,Good wishes to...

Its very clear that BJP has emerged as largest party close to the Half. If governor has any ethics, he has to invite BJP to form government, Center UPA governement will definitely try to play dirty politics along with shameless JD(S) leaders. I wish more people had exercised their...

This is the high time that congress should take common man problems seriously instead of there so called secularism plank in every election.Instead of criticizing BJP they should set right there house first.And congratulation to BJP for this remarkable victory,which is another step to win the general election next year....

Since the beginning of Election Campaign in Karnataka.., Yediyurappa was very clear that no matter whether his party secure majority or not but preferred to sit in a opposition.... can give voice for peoples of Karnataka.I think this was very good stand by Yediyurappa as it shows that he was...

BJP has made some inroads at cost of JDS for sure. What has helped them is also the clear projection of CM candidate. I hope the BJP party gets to create its government and work towards improving infrastructure and farming issues. As is clear - Doling out free goodies unlike...

The BJP has been given a chance as it has never ruled Karnataka before, just like Vajpayee was given a chance at the centre in 1998. However, just like the people of India dumped the BJP in 2004, the same may happen in Karnataka as the BJP campaigns talking about...

Congratulations yedurappa, We given a right chance to your party this time, take it in right way. Do not take as granted & advantage by mis administration in Karnataka. This time voters given a right decision to BJP. ...

The defeat in Karnataka is the Congress party's 16th loss in the four years that it returned to power at the Centre. India has seen 24 assembly elections since 2004, including four states that went to the polls along with that year's general election. The Congress party has won eight...

JD(S): You can fool some people for some time; all people for some time; not all people all the time. Cong: Every dog has its day.BJP: Maiden innings. Yet to learn. ...

After 4 years of uncertainity, we finally have a single party forming the next government. People can breathe easy as there won't be any pulse raising drama unfolding infront of TV Cameras anymore in KA like the way it did 6
