Finally the people of karnataka and bangalore can have some sight of relief from the dirty coalition politics. Voters of Karnataka have delivered, Its the people of karnataka who have won rather than any political party. Lets hope that Yeddiyurappa serves the state for the fullest term. All the very best to BJP

BJP’s historical win means a lot to me even though I’m do not reside in Karnataka. Its not just a political party’s success, but it’s the success of each and every individual of Karnataka. The success denotes a new awakening, a new era, and a new hope. People of Karnataka have shown others that they can’t be taken for granted and it’s they who are to decide Karnataka’s King not any “Kingmaker”.

Well Kannidigas have axed themselves ... Now we (Tamilians) have to deal with BJP as a neighbour .. Hmm any how neighbours should be welcomed ...Kannidiga identity is lost because today they dont have a local party to rulr them ( like we have ours ...the so called regionalistic parties) ...Hope BJP politics dosent result in increased Terrorism in Bengalooru ... it will be demise of south inturn which is free of religious chauvinism ...... The begining of the end ...!

hi,Congrats to people of Karnataka, you have voted for one party to rule you..... Well as a staunch supporter of Congress,I beleive this elections shouldnt have been won by Congress, as a matter of fact i feel its a blessing in disguise for Congress..... Today I see Karnataka opening up to the country......I forsee the black money coming out from this state and an unprecedented rise in construction coming up....Mind you the farmers from Karnataka have more amount of money compared to Maharashtra....and as i heard some mining sharps have joined in BJP, it would be tough time for them to rule and have a clean GOvt. Remember they are first timers and power always corrupts!!!! Coming to tbe blessing which i was referring to, looking ahead the Lok Sabha elections, this very dirty behaviour of these first timers would benefit COngress down the line...in future thers a chance that inflation will come down, the loan waiver amt. will reach the farmers...and what else you want during the election to be won????which will be the perfect time to vote......Congress also got the opportunity to kick the old horses out and organise themselves.... Anyway Kranataka welcome to the party!!!!

My hearty congratulations to BJP for winning this elections. I am die hard BJP supporter. According to me Mr. yeddi should thank Mr. Gowda for his win in this elections. Where was 19 months of uncertainty and where is BJP with full majority and the full term.
