Karnataka Victory The Congress is naturally euphoric and buoyed by the most unexpected victory margin .The cause of defeat is more for the BJP to decipher rather than the reasons of victory. There are some fallacious , ridiculous causes like entry tax of Goa State responsible for the decimation of the BJP, It is only a weapon of satisfaction for the beleaguered Congress set up in Goa. However plausible it may seem, it cannot sent shock waves throughout the state of Karnataka. For the month long session in Goa, the marginalised Congress in Goa Assembly was practically rendered speechless
The change at the centre displacing the shining armour of NDA with all their vain efforts was a vote for change. The recent trend at all elections held in different states, the desire for change is very evident. It is positive that change alone keeps the politicians on their toes and tenterhooks of anticipation. The wisdom is dawned on the voters that promises and past performances alone cannot be taken for granted and are no bench marks for the future delivery. The scams engulfing the UPA II in the second term are indications of this malaise. In Goa ,the congress is nearly wiped out and rendered impotent, albeit due to corruption and mis governance and self-promotion of their kin . The Gujarat results have been on development platform actually visualised by the voters , in spite of the vicious communal propaganda The role of Rahul Gandhi , Sonia had no effect,. In fact he avoided the label of being marginalised and being seen as ineffective by not plunging headlong in Gujarat politics It is happy argument to the Congress to attribute the victory in Karnataka to the young Gandhi scion No one will buy the argument, when he was rendered ineffective in earlier UP elections How else will the psycho pants swear their allegiance to the first family and without whom they have no relevance in pan India politics. It is not a crown to the congress washing away all the sins of monumental scandals and neither a clean chit absolving them of all known corruption under investigations. The infighting in the BJP and the uncontrollable Yedurupa with galore of scandals have cost them dearly. They did not realise and under estimated the nuisance value of Yedurapa and his ability to act as a spoilt sport. The defense of the indefensible acts of Yedurapa in office, counter weighing him against the Congress cost them incalculably. Beside the State election are no indices of Parliamentary elections, where the issues do not touch the voters intimately and voters are not actively participating with a National purpose. Hence the state elections are a different ball game and no indication of possible outcome in Parliamentary elections . The state election results are on a different footing than the National elections and the perception and reasons are varied The Congress will be alluding itself, if it is under the impression that the voters have given them a carte blanc to en cash on Parliamentary elections with all the monumental scams that the congress is accused of It is also premature to exclusively assign the victory to Raul Gandhi IN the days to come the BJP will undertake a postmortem on the possible debacle.In the mean time the Congress is basking in the glory of the win Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
