The assumption that Lingayat Brahmin vote will win majority for the BJP is a mere fallacy. (The Brahmin vote is miniscule in the state).
The JD(S) has already largely perceived to have collapsed and all other communities may graviate towards the Congress since the JD(S) is increasingly seen as a loser. This second scenaraio is already visibly evident. It must be noted that Vokaligas and Muslims tend to switch from JD(S) and Congress and back again very freqently.
Vicky's analysis of why SM Krishna is not standing or why Congress is not announcing its CM candidate is based on the later scenario - Congress is trying to be a magnet for all castes and does not want to upset caste equations - very shrewd strategy.
So what evidence is available of a Lingayat-non-Lingayat caste polarization has taken place. The BJP boasted that they had a 15 day campaign lead over the Congress. Now that they hit the campaign trail, they have realized that the masses have very little enthusiasm for them.
they will vote for bjp, and narendra modi will lay out the reason for bjp. hope the usually shrill sushma controls herself. a woman often is more persuaded if she can vote for a woman candidate from her own consituency, not far away dillie. bjp needs to field some credible women candidates (of whom there are so many in banglore alone) and rope in some great women social workers and movie actresses to jazz it up some.

Once again Vicky is upto it by putting useless reports with waste headlines which do not say anything about the report inside. According to him, recent statistics show 60 out of 224 seats are won by women and these are key things in poll outcome......
