Karnataka By-Elections: A Crucial Test for the BJP-JD(S) Alliance

India Today  

The upcoming by-elections in Karnataka could have significant implications for the state's political landscape. While there is no evidence to suggest that by-elections support the ruling party or the Opposition, the close proximity of the elections to the Assembly elections could create a favorable environment for the ruling party. Additionally, the presence of dynastic politics across parties could play a role in determining the outcome of these elections. The outcome of these elections will also provide insights into the strength and future of the BJP-JD(S) alliance, as well as the influence of the Deve Gowda family in the state.
