cowboysfan Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) sacking Yedi didnt help but their lackluster CM and his regime without any major victories to show for his tenure will doom them.my Father a lifelong Congress voter in the assemblies think Congress will win the majority comfortably.

Nikhil_cric Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Karnataka is the most BJP friendly state in the South and they mucked it up royally. It is an extremely corrupt, incompetent government and it has become increasingly problematic with the hijab controversy and the call to boycott muslim traders etc. There was a Lokayukta report which showed the corruption in Bangalore (40 % commission Sarkar Raj) https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thenewsminute.com/article/how-kickback-bengaluru-road-contracts-work-step-step-guide-168358%3famp Not sure about them not winning but I dont think it will be easy for them. Bangalore South constituencies maybe simply because of the demographics but elsewhere I see Congress maybe winning. nevada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee_rules Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Not sure about losing, but most opinion polls show a hung assembly like in 2018. So another Maitri sarkara and then operation Kamala. BJP just had less than 3 years, they got 16 from Congress and JDS and all were made ministers, explaining all yhe corruption. There is a lot anti-incumbency. But the mood for Congress is not all hunky dory. Sidda and DKS infighting can cause self-goals and JDS with 30 votes will play spoilsport randomGuy and ravishingravi 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nota from me this time Reason I would vote for bjp over congress even at state level even if it didn't give good governance 1. No Muslim appeasement 2. Policing with BJP means that police will not do nothing during rioting like in Bihar and WB recently. 3. State assemblies have vote in electing rajya sabha MPs where again BJP-majority will be needed to eradicate law like article 370. Bring in uniform civil code etc. 4. Muslims vote en masse to defeat bjp I suppose, only Hindus vote on caste, governance, vote NOTA (Big LoL) etc. coffee_rules, dial_100 and ravishingravi 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikhil_cric Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 The last 2 state elections, voter turnout has been over 70 %. We were lazy voters in the nineties and noughties. I'm glad that has changed. Also, interestingly , the Congress still had a higher vote share than BJP even in the last election. In fact their vote share has increased steadily over the last couple of Assembly elections . It's the Independents that have reduced and the BJP managed to get the Lingayat vote back in 2018 with the reintegration of Yedyurappa. Certainly not a case of Congress being decimated .
