What Losing Karnataka Would Mean For BJP? While losing Karnataka would dent the BJP’s claim of being a pan-India party, it would give the much-needed shot in the arm to the Congress as it eyes a revival in 2024 after a string of electoral reverses. Most political experts and pollsters are of the opinion that winning Karnataka would be the key to building a good head of steam ahead of the bigger battle in 2024 and going into the next general elections full of belief and conviction.
Led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, their quintessential poll mascot, the BJP has been trying to woo the Christian community in Kerala as part of its long-term goal of making deeper electoral inroads in a state where it remains a fringe force.
While addressing a ‘Vijay Sammelan’ in the national capital after the BJP’s thumping wins in Tripura and Nagaland, PM Modi outlined his vision for the party to entrench its foothold in Kerala by winning over the members of the Christian community.
Again, in Tamil Nadu and Telangana, the BJP’s state chiefs – Aannamalai and Bandi Sanjay – have been waging aggressive campaigns against the ruling parties – the DMK and the BRS – in the hope of turning the tables at the next battle for the hustings.
Telangana is scheduled to go to polls later this year. However, a loss in Karnataka would upset the BJP’s long-term vision of making a deeper southern ingress and take them back to the drawing board ahead of the next Lok Sabha elections.
What A Victory In Karnataka Would Mean For Congress? On the other hand, a victory in Karnataka would see Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge deliver a big-ticket electoral win to the high command, giving the grand old party a fresh burst of wind in its sails as it bids to turn the tables on the BJP in the next Lok Sabha elections.
