Elections in Karnataka give the people of that state a chance to redeem thmeselves. One may have personal preferences as to who should and shouldnot win but that I think is secondary to need to having a stable government in the state. In the last one decade only Tamilnadu is progressing in the South mainly becuase the two Dravidian parties - the DMK and the AIDMK have sucessfully tailtwisted the Center to provide dispropotionately to that State ! NO I AM NOT SAYING THAT IS WRONG ! Kerala ( under a sick Left Front Govenrment ) Andhra ( under a visionless populist YRS Reddy Government ) and Karnataka ( bashed down by immoral coalition governments ) have remained staganant. Karanatka and its people have a quicker chance to redeem themselves by giving a clear mandate - a mandate that ensures that small irrelevent parties like the JD(S) dont endup destroying the state any further . The BJP or the Congress is good choice but again much will depend on the leadership issue being clarified. As long as this country remains a democrasy it must repsect that only responible people can demand a responsible Government. If you vote in Garbage you will be ruled by Garbage. That thumbrule cannot be changed. Deliver the State to a party that can bring progress to its people . Ignore the freebies we live in times when 'free lunches' exist only on electiom manifestos.

don't mess up a good post by saying congress is a good choice. it is worst choice. the examples of a.p. and kerala you gave should nail that point. the right choice is bjp as the party is well motivated, and can marshal the right administrative resources, cut the govt waste and improve effcieincy on par with the most modern countries of the world. remmeber, teh hindsu must compete globally, and need world class leadership. expect the best, and you will get it.
