It was very clear when Kumaraswamy scheduled local elections so that results would be in just three days before the deadline. If he had lost, he would have handed over the power - no doubt. Now, he has won - it would be so stupid of him to hand over the momentum. But, appreciate how well father-son pair maneuvered this drama. As the saying goes - "hAvige hAleradarEnu pala" (what is the point in feeding a snake ?) - that is exactly happened to BJP. However, now it is Sonia's term to play the game. She will make sure that BJP will not benefit from sympathy wave and elected JDS panchayat leaders will commit blunders and then come back to power on anti-incumbency factor - so delay elections for at least six months. At least if S.M. Krishna minus D.K. Shivakumar comes back to power, I will be happy.
