The illicit arrack tragedy issue is snowballing against the BJP who is seen as supporting the IFML lobby. Alcholism has not stopped is evident by increased revenue collections. IFML have steeply increased their prices so the poor gets poorer. They turn to cheaper substitutes like illicit arrack.
The tragedy will definately stir popular rage against the BJP. How big, will be sealed in the ballot box tomorrow.

Yes. Absolutely. BJP shouldn't have done that. They should have ensured somehow forming the government, a la Congress style (horse trading, buying off Kumaraswamy, threatning him, etc.).
Then they could have remained in control and ensured idiotic cases like illicit arrack don't occur.
That they couldn't do that clearly shows their inability to stick to power. Voters should keep that in mind and ensure that Congress comes back to power in Karnataka too - to stay for another 500 years.
If we could tolerate Mughals and the British for hundreds of years, why can't we extend the same invitation to Congress?
