K'taka: A race for tickets & caste games by on Apr 09, 2008 06:57 AM | Hide replies
4) There are lot of competitors for congress votes. JD(S), Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj party. While there is little competion for BJP votes. In coastral areas BJP gets vote from all Hindus whether Upper or lower castes. In other areas of Karnataka also it it will be getting votes from Lingayaths, Vokkaligas, Brahmins, OBCS as well as SCs/STs. 5) Congress is divided into 6 fractions. In 3 meetings held to select candidates in Gulbarga, Hassan and Bangalore there was heavy fist fights between various factions. BJP inspite of getting more applications had a smooth selection of canddidates. 6) Most of JD(S) votes last time would goto BJP than congress. 7) Congress never won without Bangarappa on its side. It lost in 1983, 1994, 2004 when Bangarappa fought separately. It returned to power when Bangarappa was in Congress in 1989 and 1999. 8) BJP has become stronger in old Mysore region where it was weak last time with defection from JD(S) and congress leaders. 9) We have tried rest. It is time to give BJP a chance seems to be the common opinion heard by everybody. 10) Price rise. Inadequate infrastructure.(Congress did not add 1 single km of highway to Golden Quadralateral in last 4 years), poor turnout during summer heat (BJP being cadre based party will bring out its voters) will be the reason number 10.

I think people of karnataka should think carefully before voting, since 50 years congress are ruling the gove in karnataka, but nothing done for the poor, minorities etc., in the last 20 months of Mr. Kumaraswamy as a CM he did lot of things to these sections his village stay, janatha darshans, banning the lotery, arack, increasing the pension of widows, senior citizens etc., from Rs. 100 to Rs. 400, sanctioning of record numbers of primary, secondary schools with teachers, givinng loans to farmers at 4% interest rate, waving the farmares loans upto Rs. 25,000/- these are all not small things in the last goverments nothing for anybody please vote JD (S)under leadership of Mr. Kumaraswamy

congress will lose votes of muslims to deva gowda party,dalits to mayawati pary, price rise, sympathy factor,appeasement of minorities,ram sethu issue,secret understanding of congress with karuna,strong hindu forces gaining popularity in coastal areas from mangalore to northen karnataka will bring bjp to power. kumaraswamys hard work will go vain if deva gowda goes to public meetings as people in karnataka hate him and consider him as''kumbakarna ''in ramayana.
