BJP’s stunning victory in Karnataka
The Bharatiya Janta Party today for the first time planted its victory in a southern Indian state. It is stunning that BJP is on the verge of winning 111 seats, just two short of the 113 required for a simple majority. A euphoric Lal Krishna Advani said “I had stated that 2008 would turn out to be a ‘Year of Change’ in national politics. My affirmation has been vindicated by the triumphant performance of the BJP in the Vidhan Sabha elections in Karnataka.”
Karnataka victory comes after the BJP’s decisive victories in the Vidhan Sabha elections in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh towards the end of 2007
Advani said “This geographical expansion of the BJP, and the simultaneous shrinkage of the Congress party almost all over the country, shows the shape of things to come in the run-up to the next parliamentary elections.”
The Congress (I) has been defeat in almost all the Vidhan Sabha elections held since May 2004.
