BJP to look into reasons for defeat; flags Congress guarantees, changed caste equations

The Hindu  

Shocked by the miserable defeat in the Karnataka Assembly elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party is set to hold State-level and Assembly constituency-level meetings of its candidates and leaders to decipher the reasons for its loss. BJP State president Nalin Kumar Kateel told media persons in Bengaluru on Sunday that the meeting would be held within a few days and appealed to party workers to analyse the reasons for the debacle and also prepare for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. According to sources, the opinion expressed was that the manner in which the Congress “guarantees” were reached to people was one of the main reasons for the BJP’s defeat, apart from the wave of anti-incumbency. “In fact, the guarantees of the Congress were being widely debated even before the party released its formal manifesto,” a prominent State leader of the BJP, who participated in the Sunday’s meeting, told The Hindu. It also felt that the SC community rallied behind the Congress because of Dalit leader M. Mallikarjun Kharge’s presence while some of these communities, including Banjaras, were up in arms against the BJP as they were not happy with internal reservation among the SCs taken up by the party government.
