It is a pity that the single largest party in Karnataka could not form the Government. It was for the love to form its own government, the BJP had deceitfully broken the Congress led government. But it fell pray to a similar act. No one, excepting the JD(S), wants to have the election. But Deve Gowda has played the cards wrongly. Or may be he was little bit too greedy.
But there is always a hope for the BJP now. There is an even chance that they can form a government by getting to the magical figure with some JD(S) MLAs. Now that JD(S) can only cry foul but if a faction goes out, they can do nothing. But this option is not a big one as the local election success would lure away those fence sitters.
But a little delay in the election may work well for the BJP. And BJP will hope that about 6 month's delay will work out fine for them. For public consumption, they may say a thousand things, but no, this is not the time for them to go to the poll.
