You are 100 percent Right Raghavendra. When election day was approaching there was sudden hysteria in Bangalore based English language Media which went something like this. Anyway Vajpayee and BJP are coming at Centre. Please donot allow Karnataka to turn to Gujarat when coverage of Post Godhra riots was a cottage industry for English language media. Due to such malicious propaganda BJP lost many sure seats like Basavanagudi, Rajajinagar, Jayanagar, Hubli City etc. Congress would have been pushed to 3rd place and BJP would have been closer to majority. However karnataka people will correct their mistake and will give BJP 2/3 rds majority.
