JDS and BJP are scared of mid term elections. JDS may have fared well in the recent Urban Local Bodies elections, but they had not done well in the ZP elections. BJP also didn't do well in either of these elections. Though Congress didn't do well in the recent Urban bodies elections when compared to 2001, they improved their votes when compared to the 2004 elections. Congress won 1,600 seats and JDS won 1,400 seats, making BJP a distant third.
JDS and BJP wouldn't want mid term polls and will find a way out to continue in power. Karnataka be damned.

village issue based local bodies elections and zp elections dont play a factor when it comes to state assembly and parliament elections my friend......in any case what every one is missing out is bjp had won only 400 ULB last time which has gone up to 1400 this time so just wait and watch....jds and congress is going to make another alliance to avoid elections right now

Yes, Cong has a better chance in assembly polls than the BJP or JD(S) seeing their ZP election results. Even JanataDal and BJP must be aware. That is why they have not withdrawn support.
