THIS IS THE PRECISE GAMBLE OF JD-S. SINCE CONGRESS HAS NOT FAIRED THAT WELL IN RECENT POLLS, CONGRESS MAY NOT BE FAVOURABLE FOR A MID TERM POLL. HENCE THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS. FIRST, TO IMPOSE PRESIDENT'S RULE IN WHICH CASE KUMARASWAMY WILL BE CARE TAKER CM. SECOND POSSIBILITY IS THAT CONGRESS MUST SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT EITHER FROM OUTSIDE SUPPORT OR THROUGH PARTICIPATION. IN ANY CASE IT'S WIN WIN CHANCE FOR JD-S. IF ASSEMBLY DISSOLVED WITH THE ANOUNCEMENT OF MID TERM POLL, JD-S IS ON THE ADVANTAGEOUS SIDE AND GOING BY THE PRESENT TREND OF ELECTION RESULT SAME MIX OF HUNG ASSEMBLY WOULD RESULT. HENCE, THE MOST POSSIBLE DECISION OF CONGRESS WOULD BE TO UNWILLINGLY SUPPORT THE JD-S GOVERNMENT FOR THE PRESENT AND CONSOLIDATE THEIR POSITION FOR NEXT GOVERNMENT. THE ONLY RISK FACTOR IS THAT ELECTORATE MAY CHANGE THEIR VOTING PATTERN ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF CUURENT EVENTS BUT THE CONSOLATION FACTOR TO THIS IS TIME WILL DILUTE THE PUBLIC FEELINGS. THIS MAY PROBABLY THE ANALYSIS WORKING IN THE MIND OF FORMER PRIME MINISTER DEVE GOWDA.
