Opposition unity, an imperative to dethrone BJP in 2024 elections: Shettar There was a time when it was Congress versus all political parties but in recent times, it is the BJP versus the rest. A united Opposition then fought the Congress and dislodged it but today, there was a question mark on the unity of the Opposition parties in the absence of which it will be difficult to vote out the BJP, says the former CM June 10, 2023 08:29 pm | Updated 08:53 pm IST - MYSURU Former Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar, who quit BJP and joined the Congress before the Assembly elections in Karnataka, said that Opposition unity was vital if the BJP was to be thwarted in the next year’s general elections.

Karnataka has never voted an incumbent party to power since 1985. Ruling BJP, riding on the Modi juggernaut, wants to break the 38-year jinx and tighten the grip on its southern stronghold. Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed 19 public meetings and held six roadshows. Amit Shah held 16 public rallies and 14 roadshows. BJP chief JP Nadda held 10 public meetings and 16 roadshows. Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, held various roadshows, rallies and elections campaigns. A total of 5,31,33,054 electors are eligible to cast their vote in 58,545 polling stations across the state, where 2,615 candidates are in the fray, in what is being seen mainly as a three-cornered contest between the ruling BJP, the Congress and former prime minister H D Deve Gowda's Janata Dal (Secular) Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar has appealed to voters to come out in large numbers to exercise their franchise. He urged the young and urban voters and participate actively in the "festival of democracy, defeating the prevalent trend of urban apathy in the state".

• • • • Karnataka Live Election result highlights: Congress trounce BJP, set to win over 130 seats Karnataka Live Election result highlights: Congress trounce BJP, set to win over 130 seats Karnataka election results 2023 Live Updates: Here are the key takeaways from the election counting that is currently underway for all 224 seats in Karnataka. The Congress party has emerged the single-largest party in the Karnataka Assembly polls and is set to form the government in the southern citadel, after registering a thumping victory. The DK Shivakumar-led Karnataka Congress has crossed the halfway-mark of 113 and is currently at 136. The BJP, currently hovering at around 64, has conceded defeat to the grand old party. The regional party of the state, JD(S) is at around 20. The victory is a big morale booster for the Congress, which, barring the success in Himachal Pradesh in December, had not won a single state election since the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. The scale of the victory will help the Congress gain momentum and get battle-ready to take on the saffron party head-on in the General Lections, next year. Here are the key points from the Karnataka election results: • 01 Where is result counting underway As for the initial trends, out of the 28 seats in Bengaluru, BJP is leading 12 and Congress is leading in 10 seats, while the JD(S) is leading in two seats. Surprisingly, NA Haris, a three time Congress MLA from Shantinagar is trailing from the constituency, while B Shivakumar...

Ruchir Sharma, the banker and writer, said that India tends to disappoint both pessimists and optimists, meaning that its progress in the long term was not marked by the striking acceleration that defined the economic success of China and South Korea and Japan before it. It would remain as poor as its sisters in South Asia. However, India also disappoints those who conclude that it is a lost cause and doomed to failure. It can go all the way up to imminent default, but it pulls itself back. The reality, Sharma says, is more banal. India staggers along but corrects itself before it reaches an extreme, whether that is success or failure, and comes around to the middle. The narrative of New India It appears that this thesis has carried over from the economy to India’s politics. The BJP is seen by its supporters as the unstoppable force that will transform the nation, and transform it radically (“New India”). The agent of that change is a leader, the Prime Minister, who is seen in messianic terms. He will bring something special because he is the sole possessor of it. We are now in year 10 of this dispensation and it is not that we are lacking in evidence or data on the side of the economy, or national security, or employment or any of the major objective things that would qualify as being radical change. But that does not seem to matter to the believers because bhakti does not require a demonstration from the object that is deified. The magic is produced in the believer and n...

• Also read in: • Karnataka results: What lessons the loss holds for BJP Karnataka has a long history of caste empowerment. The ideological stream of Lohiaite socialism was adapted and merged into the legacy of Devaraj Urs, which influenced the Congress to position itself as a proponent of social justice politics in the state. Karnataka has voted decisively for the Congress, after a decade. In 2013, it won 122 seats with a 36 per cent vote. On Saturday, it won 135 seats — its ally, the Sarvodaya Karnataka Paksha, won the one seat it contested — more than double the BJP’s tally of 66, and almost 43 per cent of the vote. The BJP performed below par across the statedespite Prime Minister Narendra Modi leading the campaign. The PM had given a personal tone to the campaign, framing the election as a vote for a double-engine sarkar. He also gave it a polarising spin, particularly in the last lap, by invoking Bajrang Bali. The gambit failed. The electorate preferred the Congress’s promise of welfare and its endorsement of secularism: the Congress manifestohad borrowed the great poet Kuvempu’s famous line, “ Sarva janangada shanthiya thota (the garden where all communities live in peace)”, as its credo. Hence, it is tempting to agree with Rahul Gandhi’s remarkthat “Karnataka mein nafrat ka bazaar band hua hai aur mohabbat ki dukan khuli hai”. It is also true that the Bharat Jodo BJP’s rise in Karnataka There is a lesson or two for the This is a scenario that did not develop in oth...
