Karnataka shows a new light for democracy Karnataka election a litmus test for Congress and BJP.
The big win for Congress is a victory for 6.5 crore Kannadigas as the Karnataka’s pride triumphed today as per senior Congress leader Randeep Surjewala following Kharge’s speech.
It is learnt that ahead of the the
2024 parliamentary polls
election in Karnataka was widely seen as a litmus test for both Congress and BJP.
This is the first time since the 2019 Lok Sabha polls that the Congress, amid its shrinking footprint, has got the better of the ruling party in a big state, a feat which will energise its battered ranks and possibly give it a template for taking on the BJP in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan in the coming months.
Though the win is sure to give wings to the Congress’ ambition for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls and will add heft to its political weight as opposition parties work to join hands, its success in forming the government in Karnataka in 2018 in an alliance with the JD(S) and subsequent win over the BJP in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan was unable to prevent a saffron sweep in these states in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
