Analysis: After the shock in Maharashtra, there is a big relief for the BJP in Karnataka, Congress will have problems

BY - KRISHNA PATRA

In Karnataka, BJP has secured a clear majority in the state assembly till registering 12 seats in 15 assembly by-elections. The Congress and JDS have received a shock from these results. This victory is also important for the BJP because in Maharashtra, like Karnataka, a government has been formed in political circumstances. The by-elections were caused by the resignations of 12 Congress MLAs and three JDS MLAs. Of these, Congress has got only two seats and JDS has not got any seats.

After the Maharashtra setback, the BJP needed a similar victory, so that it could send a message to its cadres across the country that what happened in Maharashtra did not harm the BJP. At the same time, it has given indications for the politics of Maharashtra in the coming days.

While the BJP will get its benefits in the coming days, the problems of the Congress will increase. The political gains he had gained from his share of power in Maharashtra could suppress Karnataka's defeat.
