The BJP should be prepared to sit in the opposition if they cant get a mojority because the coalition of the congress and thr jd(s) will not last. And I would prefer to support a party with some moral vaues rather than partner with a back stabber. This would go a long way in retaining the loyal support that will get them what ever number of seats that it may have won. And if they chose to side with the jd(s) then they stand to lose that too.

Yoy are right. Shri LK Advani, already said that. In case, BJP don't get majority, they will sit in opposition.
Let hope, BJP get absolute majority and save the people of Karnataka.
The illicit arrack tragedy issue is snowballing against the BJP who is seen as supporting the IFML lobby. Alcholism has not stopped is evident by increased revenue collections. IFML have steeply increased their prices so the poor gets poorer. They turn to cheaper substitutes like illicit arrack.
The tragedy will definately stir popular rage against the BJP. How big, will be sealed in the ballot box tomorrow.

Completely agree with you. Janardhan poojary has completely gone mad. He was Finance minister of India (when Indira Gandhi was PM). If you listen to some of his statements which even a primary student will realize are wrong.

Why should government manufacture or sell liquor? It is not the govt's job. If people want to drink they can do so with branded alcohol. Some company can even start manufacturing a cheap liquor. But it should not be govt's business.
Controlling illicit arrack is govt's business. I think people will also stop drinking it after this news. Probably govt can provide test kits to these manufacturers and collect tax from them.
Legalize the small business of brewing alcohol based beverages as a local business.
A section of JD(S) leadership headed by Mr. Kumaraswamy forming government with BJP was a historical blunder. If Mr. Devegowda was not active, BJP would have finished BJP by now. BJP has the history of marginalizing the coalition partner everywhere. They have wiped out JD(U) in Karnataka (JDU was once a powerful force). Sensing the danger, Mr. Devegowda did what was right for the party. BJP cannot claim that to be cheating. BJP previously had pulled V.P. Singh's government. In politics allingnments and re-allignments are very common. Weeping over non handing over of Chief Ministership is an act of cowardice. Giving communal and casteistic colour to it is an expression of defeatedness. The voters of Karnataka are mature enough to respond to that drama.

Political leadership of any party knows when to support and when not to support. Mr. Devegowda as a leader of his party can take any decision in the best interest of the party - it is his right. The spin doctor of BJP Mr. Arun Jaitley engineered the collapse of Congress-JDS coalition. Whereas Mr. Devegowda terminated JDS -BJP coalition.

That's right. BJP induced JDS to ditch Congress and when they did it back to the BJP, they cry betrayal! So what JDS did it to Congress is strategy and the same thing they did to BJP is unethical!

dude, bjp induced jds or was it a very ambitious kumaraswamy wanting to become a cm at all or any costs ? man yu know how to put a political spin and a mask to it - but people of karnataka know what nataka goes on with gowdas. its not the first time - the gowda family have zero reputation, look how sonia refused to meet him in delhi - that snub was fantastic - he should be dealt with like that ALL the time!

I think you were correct in your original message. So far, BJP has been instrumental in finishing BJP. No party had the amunition to finish BJP after it came to Power in 1999. But it was plagued by doubts about itself: Whether to pursue the Ram Mandir Agenda, whether to discuss Article 370 or not! And the party finished itself. If credit has to be assigned to someone for this, it should go to Atal Bihari Vajpai. And not to Sonia Gandhi or Mulayam Singh, Mayawati or Laloo Prasad. One sure way of finishing the party is; to let it govern for 5 years.

It's politics.Politics could be either for value or for opportunity. Unfortunately since Indira's time politics in India is based on opportunity only. How many times Congress & all other parties did the similar thing?
At least BJP has the best track record in governance and they are the only all India national party.

i wish jds is totally eliminated and finished as a political outfit. or just have 5 or 10 seats. the scumbags dont deserve anything.
the man is very very old; he can't keep up with fast changing world. let bjp build a good house in the himalayas for advani's retirment. after 75 years it is supposed to be sanyaashram. to retire after 75 is a hindu thing to do. the theorem that needs no proof is that any party that is not explicitly and publicly hindu will eventually become leftist party privately too. does bjp want to end up being another congress?

Pradip: Advani is more stronger than you, physically, intellectually, and in all respects. Just try to see him, once personally. Your illusion will disappear. There is no age-limit in politics, but as long as one is fit, age is a not factor. Vajpayee is not fit physically, he retired. Do you know how old was Sri Krishna and Bhisma at the time of Kurukshetra war? Sri Krishna was around 90 years and Bhisma was about 130 years. Yudhisthri was older than Sri Krishna. Let we look into person's quality, fitnes, capability and not age.
Wily Deve Gowda must be rubbing his hand with glee. Hung assembly is dream come true for this corrupt politician. If his son becomes Chief Minister again, Gowda will rake in more money.
Problem with Karnataka is no good leader. Yadiurappa is very dumb leader. AnanthKumar is too selfish. BJP was supported in central elections because of it strong leadership at national level. But at state level no one is capable leader. They got North Karnataka as gift from RamaKrishna Hegade. BJP cheated his family.
In Congress there is SM Krishna looks little bit OK. But it is too much of Gouda Politics. His Supporters like Shivkumar are no less then Street Gundas. Like Devergouda and his sons they want to grab land and make money. Only difference is these people do not have old kids.
Because of no good leadership Votes will breakup. That gives an opportunity to People like Kumarswamy , Devegouda.
Only God can save Karantaka. If that happens real estate rates in Bangalore will be doubled within a year.

You forget, real estate spiked most steepily in Bangalore's history during JDS-BJP coalition. That they were partners in looting is clear by the assets declared by BJP candidates

Mr. Full educated boy Come out of the classroom. We are not talking about Chikpete market here. "SUPPLY AND DEMAND%u201D theory itself is non-sense in high priced goods. Moreover where is Land supply in Bangalore? Do you think some one stop buying of Land or building the home? My dad use to say he will not buy Gold if it crosses Rs1500. My Brother will say he will sell his car every time Petrol rate goes up.
Nothing is stopped because of inflation. Do you what is the rate of the as far as Chikkaballpura?
