- The Congress attracted maximum applicants per constituency - there are virtual stampede of applicants. The JD(S) the least. - The Congress still attracts maximum defections. The JD(S) none at all. In fact, it looks that the sheep is deserting the JD(S) lock stock and barrel.
Basis of these two pointers, the Congress seems favorites to win the elections especially with the base of the JD(S) disintegrating. The return of SM Krishna consildates the Vokkaliga vote bank behind Congress.
There is high possibility of non-Lingayata communities adopting tactical voting agaties against the BJP. These include Vokkaligas, Muslims and other religious minorities, linguitic minorities, particularly Tamils, SCs and STs

AR just gave pointers. They should be appreciated as such.
If opinion and exit polls can go so horribly wrong so can these pointers. There is more than a month to election day and any event can change the tide. The 2004 elections was peculiar that the changing tide was not noticed by arm chaired commentors and election analysts.
So KSB. Sleep well too and who knows that it might be y that is in for a rude or pleasant surprise on counting day
Rediff's posting tone is very much provocative against Tamils. The last paragraph in the above news is unnecessary.
Rediff wants to increase its hits by publishing so many provocative news items against Tamils. No news items are published from other states like Bihar, Orissa, Madhya pradesh and Rajasthan. Rediff wants to spread the Tamil hate at the same time it wants to increase the number of HITS. The NET savy Tamilians will always reply any Tamil hate messages, so that it can achieve both., I stopped writing messages in this Street fight message board where only HATE community is full swing(They invariably hate Tamils, Chinese, Muslems, Non BJPs, Communists so on, the list is endless) No concrete suggestions or worthwhile discussions are taking place , They use their ENGLISH skills only to offend others. Rediff is doing a nice job of spreading the HATE feeling to every NET savy, IT people in this country.
I will NEVER write a message in REDIFF after this, worthless exercise. Nothing will be changed by my action. Any way I want to Boycott this ever for spreading HATE HATE feeling among us.

You are very very right. I have sensed this behaviour of Rediff since a long time back. Look at the way they had the cauvery issue few days back with one side a link to TN and side by side a link to KTAKA. This shows that the rediff people are enjoying by triggering hate between southern states. Other symptoms are they always prais SRK beyond ones imaginary levels, etc. I too wanna quit this stupidity of rediff.

If you are able to appreciate rediff, then its only you who is narrow minded. Go and look at the quality rather than your interest that flows in your words. How can you say that TN people cant think out of tamil pride? TN people have wont 2 nobel prizes which shows what they can do. If you dont like tamil, you are most welcome, but keep yourself away from writing depressive statements. TN people never got fair treatment other than abuses and to return they also dont speak hindi, its their wish. Dont say things like: Tamil pride. All hindis in TN speak hindi, all malayalis in TN speak only malayalam, all kannads speak only kannads. We never asked anything. You also please stop talking bad.

Now in news and web you have all types of people .....If you just blame someone on basis of some immature people's comments.thans its your mistakes......I speak Tamil and Hindi too ...

The Hogenakkal drinking water supply scheme is being implemented by Tamil Nadu on the basis of a No Objection certificate by the Centre. The NOC was issued by the Centre on September 21, 1998 after convening a meeting of both the States on June 29, 1998. At the meeting, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka had agreed not to object to drinking water supply schemes as long as the State concerned utilised water from its allocated share.
The then Karnataka Chief Minister J.H. Patel of JD(S) - former ally of BJP had been the signatory to the NoC.
This is the reason why in this whole tamasha the JD(S) is quiet.
The BJP, Tamil Nadu unit and its ally, AIDMK (both entered into an alliance agreement for the coming polls in Karnataka) spearheaded the opposition pressure on Karunanidhi to react. The BJP, Karnataka meanwhile is trying to milk the issue to gain votes. Rascals
Facts in 1998
1. BJP government at the Center 2. DMK ally of BJP at Center 3. JD(S) led by Son of Soil - Deva Gowda party in Kanataka
Questions
1. If Hogenakkal disputed terrority, why all these parties signed NoC? 2. BJP in power with JD(S) for 2 years, why they did not raise Hogeionsnakkal and why now - two months before elect
BJP is a Lingayat Party in Karnataka. Lingayats are the most casteist community in India. Hogenakkal is only a foretaste of Yediruppa rule. But then, all other communities against Lingayats. So Yediruppa will end like Advani- Perpetual CM-in-Waiting

Lingayats claim that they abolished caste system and yet they are the most casteist in India. All other communities must adopt tactical voting to defeat Lingayat (BJP) rule - vote any party well placed to beat Lingayat (BJP) candidate in any constituency. Make BJP forfeit deposit. Last time BJP forfeited deposit in 42 seats. This time we can aim to triple it

"Why people Deleting My message, What is Wrong"
If TN had NOC in 1998, What was TN doing for the past 10 years?, Why TN has started only in 2008?, I think blind fellow sleeping all these 10 years, Now started drama after 10 years to get political milage for himself at delhi, and for his ally congress in Karnataka. This dirty fellow does not have any intrest for the people of TN. These tamils simply blindly keep voting for the these blind fellow. God Save Tamils!!!!!!!!
BJP forming Govt in centre depends upon the no of seats it gets in TN out of the total 40 after allying with ADMK. Though UPA is losing popularity BJP had not gained big popularity to get 300 plus seats in the centre and hence it needs to rely on ADMK to form Govt in centre as now UPA relies on DMK. The expected BJP Govt in Karnataka will oppose the Hogenakkal project and will not get votes in TN even if it allies with ADMK & MDMK. This backlog will stall BJP's progress in centre. It may be recalled when Advani stated that allying with ADMK in 2004 elections in TN resulted in loosing all the 40 seats which ultimately hit the BJP at national level though the wavw was against Jaya last time.Now the same wave will repeat if BJP allies with Jaya. If Jaya is smart she should go alone and win the maximum seats and then help BJP if required otherwise the combine loose all the seats in TN in 2009 !

BJP will win atleast 10 seats this time with no hope to form the govt in Karnataka..
People of Karnataka are smart. Last time BJP aligned with JD(U) Hence got more seats.
Mark my words. If BJP form the govt in Karnataka, I will stop posting messages in Rediff.
The game plan of BJP ADMK to trap Congress DMK received a big blow in Hogenakkal issue and MK moved his coin cleverly which made Jaya & Deve Gowda to bark against TN Govt. BJP has dug its own grave in TN and it was using people like Cho to woo Rajini to support the party in the next elections. Now little chance of Rajini supporting BJP as its Karnataka unit is against this project. ADMK is planning to ally with BJP in KN & TN but now joining in KN is ruled out. The ADMK BJP combine will get zero seat in TN in the next elections if this project is stopped by the anticipated BJP govt in KN which will also stall BJP in forming the Govt at Centre. If BJP does not win in KN now then the scenes will change. Overall BJP is screwed by MK in TN !

Tt was Congress govt headed by Bangarappa which sponsored and screwed tamils in Bangalore during kaveri riots in early 1990s.
The liguistic fundamentalists and christiantamils(converted for few bucks who are looking for few more souls for harvesting) still support Congress.
