Uttar Pradesh and Biharhavefinally been outdone to much of everyone’s surprise. We’re seeing the finest example of opportunist politics in Karnataka. In the runner-up campaign ofKarnataka Election 2019, we saw Congress’s Rahul Gandhi call JD(S) as “Janta Dal Sangh party”. And now, the two party has teamed up to form a government. Surprising. Ironic.
However, let’s not take pity on BJP either. They just got played on in a game that they have been championing in for way too long—in Goa, Sikkim and more. Only an idiot would fall fortheir victimcard that showcases them failing even with most votes.Becausethere are three things to remember here:
· One, the forming of Congress-JD(S) alliance is not unqualified. It’s certainly is unethical. The government formation is very well under the jurisdictions.
· Second, even with more number of wins in Karnataka, BJP didn’t win the highest vote shares. It was Congress who tallied the highest vote share inKarnataka Election 2018.
· BJP, itself, has pulled such trickery of alliances and coalitions in many states.
So, what we have in Karnataka is a legit government—despite the victimhood played by BJP people and martyrdom-like ploy done by its stooge, sell-out,Godimedia.
Now the question comes, how long will this unholy alliance between Congress and JD(S) lasts. Well, it’s difficult to say anything definite. But you can see them hanging out together until theGeneral Election 2019gets over. And then what happens in the election will likely decide where this coalition will go. As it looks like, Congress will lose inGeneral Election 2019even with a strong bloc against Modi. And once the heat of election gets over, the alliance between Congress and JD(S) will be concluded.
In the course of this one year, in therunner-uptoGeneral election 2019, of course, we’re going to see loads of drama. The conflict between these two partnering parties will regularly come out in the media. BJP andGodiMedia will smartly exploit such loopholes to corner Congress. There would be lots of debate on who will be the ministers and who won’t. We would also hear about few MLAs getting angry and even going rogue just because they won’t get the ministership. There would be politicians from here and there who will convey their unhappiness with the alliance, which, again, the Godi media will pick with all its might.
However, even with all the problems, somehow, Congress and JD(S) will stay together untilGeneral Election 2019happens. Beyond that, we might finally see them two breaking away. If BJP succeeds in buying the MLAs and prove majority, they would form a government in the state. If not, Karnataka will very likely go on thepollin late 2019 or early 2020.
It’s quite interesting thatKarnataka Election 2018is playing such an important role in national politics. Till now, it has always been Uttar Pradesh and Bihar playing such role.
Changing time, indeed!
