Lessons from Karnataka: for the Congress, the BJP and the rest

The Hindu  

The outcome in Karnataka has set the tone for national politics in the run-up to the 2024 General Elections when Prime Minister Narendra Modi will seek a third straight term in power. In Karnataka, the Congress effectively tackled the BJP framework of politics which is a combination of welfarism, caste representation and Hindutva. Between D. K. Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah, the Congress pushed back against two allegations that the BJP usually raises - that it is hostile to the Hindu faith, and its Anglicised liberalism does not accommodate backward castes while it “appeased” the Muslims. The outcome in Karnataka will potentially quell rebellions in the Congress units of Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, and encourage dissidence in BJP units, particularly in Rajasthan where former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje wants to be announced as the CM candidate. The BJP will have to decide whether it will encourage State leaders to take charge in Assembly elections or keep all campaigns dependent on Mr. Modi’s charisma and whirlwind tours.
