Vote for BSP in Karnataka. It is the only party that believes in equality to all irrespective of caste or religion. To ensure that all castes and communities got fair representation, the BSP has earmarked 30% of the seats for Lingayats and Vokkaligas, 37% for Other Backward Classes, 23% for Dalits & 12% for Muslims
- 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.
In 2004 Lok Sabha elections the BJP won more than half the seats but could not repeat the same performance for the Assembly elections. Among reasons was that in the Lok Sabha, the stature of Vajpayee came into play and not the likes of local politicians.
Besides BJP's image has suffered due to:
a. Fanning Kannadiga-Tamil disunity in the Hoggenakkal issue b. Selling of tickets to the highest bidder, diregarding winnability of candidates c. Bellary mining mafia controlling the party. In fact, why the JD(S) transfer to BJP did not take place was because the JD(S) objected to this mafia accorded cabinet status d. Packing selection list with only Lingayat candidates, reinforing the image that the BJP in Karnataka is a Lingayat party, alienating it from other communities
On basis of these pointers, the Congress seems favorites to win the elections especially with the base of the JD(S) disintegrating. The return of SM Krishna consolidates the Vokkaliga vote bank behind Congress.
There is high possibility of non-Lingayata communities adopting tactical voting against the BJP. These include Vokkaligas, Muslims and linguistic minorities, particularly Tamils, SCs and STs.
Dear Vivek, thanks for the details. I was just thinking about a party like this. But I got a channel now. Could it be possible to send me the contact of Thyagaraj Purohit? We do not have contact of any leaders of this party or any memeber. Can you please send me some contact. I want to join this party.
my id is baptistsequeira@gmail.com or baptist.sequeira@tspl.com
India must have reservations till 85% of marriages are inter-caste. Till then, Vote for candidates from YOUR caste only. Do not care if he is corrupt or competent.
RE:The BJP claims it Unifies Hindus. Yet it fans rife between Tamilians and Kannadigas. Why? The BJP in Karnataka is party of Lingayats, led by Yediruppa. The Lingayata are the most casteist community in India. Why?

Rajana you have some thing wrong thinking about Lingayaths. Lingayaths are the best community in entire India. Regarding Hogenekkal issue if somebody comes to your house to steal your belongings in your house will you allow them to do the same. Same thing applies in Hogenekkal issue. Hogenekkal belongs to Karnataka.
