The BJP’s Karnataka defeat — a blow to its mythmaking

The Hindu  

The Congress’ decisive win in Karnataka shatters two myths about the BJP’s electoral dominance — the idea of “subaltern Hindutva” and the popularity of the “double engine” slogan. The former tendency has scorched the BJP in state elections in Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh, while the latter tendency has stalled the party’s expansion bid in state elections of Telangana, Orissa and Maharashtra, In state elections, it is these very sections which tend to shift back heavily towards the Congress or regional parties, sowing doubts about their ideological commitment to the BJP or conventionally-defined Hindutva, let alone to a subaltern-driven, anti-elite variety of Hindutva. In a state like Karnataka, corruption is well-entrenched into mainstream caste-community based social, commercial, and educational/religious structures, and hence it is extremely difficult to track ‘real’ changes in its scale. However, as the political scientist Harold Gould observed way back in 1997, in a paper on the Congress decline in Karnataka, the ‘perception’ of rampant corruption is deduced by the public through other short-hand, surface-level political variables, such as high factional conflict and weak state leadership.
