Tactical Voting
by rajana on May 10, 2008 11:54 AM

Lingayats claim that they abolished caste system and yet they are the most casteist in India.

BJP in Karnataka is a Lingayat party. They gave no tickets for minorities. Lingayats got more seats than their representation in the population. All winnable seats were given to Lingayats and loseable seats to other communities.

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
