Karnataka has shown how to defeat Modi — India must now learn

Al Jazeera  

Modi turned the state election into a referendum on himself. India’s political landscape is again alive with new possibilities after the southern state of Karnataka threw the Hindu supremacist Bhartiya Janata Party out of power in recently-held assembly elections and elected the long-struggling Congress Party. The decisive defeat of the BJP in Karnataka means that now, all of southern India is free of BJP rule – dashing the hopes of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s party to use the state as its gateway to a part of the country it has largely failed to win over. Led by Modi, the BJP had run a campaign that relied heavily on dog whistles and direct references to Muslims, portraying India’s largest religious minority – 200 million strong – as a threat. Corporate honchos – who also control the media – have not yet deserted the BJP and major electoral funding goes to Modi’s party, while the opposition is starved of funds.
