Karnataka Elections 2023 | NDTV Special: Battle For Karnataka's Vokkaliga Bastion

Karnataka Elections 2023: While the BJP versus Congress campaign may have dominated the Karnataka narrative, the two men leading the Congress campaign – DK Shivakumar and Siddaramiah – are both from the politically crucial agrarian heartland of the Old Mysore region. Their internal dynamics, caste equations and the battle with the Janata Dal Secular could well decide the final outcome. NDTV's special report decodes the battle in the JD(S) bastion.

Modi said Karnataka will become no. 1 if we vote for BJP but Gujarat he himself rules but till date Gujarane is lagging behind of many states. Please vote for Congress to save our state and the Constitution

[rajatgadge]

Rise above caste and religion. Discard and ignore parties who create division amongst people on caste and religious divides. Say no to BJP.

[a.chandrashekar]

It's not Bk shiv kumar. He's Dk. Shiv Kumar. Correct the spelling mistake.

BJP can go to any extent for winning, Jab jab election aane wala hota hai woh aisa kuch bada karta hai like terrorist attacks, india pakistan matter, aur news wale usko aisa mirch masala lagake batayenge jaise apne ghar mein hi ho raha hai. Inhe sirf khudka faida dikhta hai garib n middle class families are struggling day by day for basic needs. Take an oath not to vote for bjp at any cost. Warna hukumshahi ka gulam ho jayega yeh desh.

लगता है की अबकी बार कर्नाटक मे सही रूप से जनता की जनादेश को दिखा दिया जाएगा। क्योंकि विपक्षी पार्टियां और आम जनता EVM पर कोई शक न कर सके। जबकि पूरे देश मे विपक्ष को हमेसा से प्रचंड जनादेश मिलता रहा है फिर भी EVM मे गडबड़ी करके केवल एक पार्टी को फायदे पहुंचाया जता रहा है।

If congress come to power goondagiri, muslim fundamentalism and hindu hate will start.

Clearly anti incombency is strong and the break up is less relevant.🤫🫢

Congress is dynastic party and  the outlook of the party owners alone matters. Often times Cong has overturned the expectations in appointing surprise and weaker candidates in state leadership including for the  CM post. Dynastic policies and politics are different and often whimsical. 🧔😴🤸🤠✋

BJP always used imagination, innovatioin, creativity and grassroot organization to lure the electorate accross the country in diverse scenarios and challenges for winning and government formation. Perhaps it is nearing saturation. 🍧🍺

For the first time in a decade BJP and Hindutva apear to be in crisis. This is the same situation Congress faced after decades of success. Like Congress, the BJP is turning on the state power to curb opposition in combination with media, money, muscle, reservations etc. This is recipe for curruption, devision, disparity and mistrust leading to the decline and demise. 🍽️🫗

Leaders of the backward and lawless states like Yogi and Biswas are used in the election campaign. State BJP president Nalin is nowhere and other prominent BJP leaders from Karnataka are treated with less importance!?? 😩🤦
Is Karnataka a soft target for BJP? 🤔🤫🫢

BJP is allowing dynastic practices with selected influential leaders in violation of their policy.

Why BJP is not doing great in Karnataka is of  their own making. 🤔😂

BJP has completely missed the point and misjudged the mandate they received which was for development and eradication of corruption. What the people got is completely opposite.

BJP perceived the mandate had communal origin. It wasn't and infact BJP tried to force certain decisions without considering the aspirations and sentiments of the people who choose to elect them. 🪷🤸👎

Any political party that promises change and economic security cannot be ignorant of the indigenous culture and sentiments. BJP has failed repeatedly and miserably in this count. Clearly people are feeling alienated from the political process which doesn't suit their likes and preferences. People are averse to the hegemonic & grand proclamations. People suspect the very nature and motives of a political party which is increasingly agenda driven. 😩🤠

BJP has committed serious miscalculation in selecting the candidates and in dropping few. This has further alienated even the traditional staunch supporters. 😴

There is huge trust deficit against BJP this time. And this puts them in the same category of other two options available to the voter i.e. Cong & JDS. The voters are left with very little choice and the challenge is to elect the best among the worst. ✋🪷

The side effect of this dilemma could result in gain for some candidates who enjoy popular support purely on merit of their own. ✌️

The people of Karnataka should get good infrastructure and a lawful,   progressive govt which they deserve

Satyamev Jayate! 🪷
Jai Karnataka!! 
Jai Hind!!!

[dharmarajan]

Oh! Then election is not for Assembly for entire Karnataka ; but only for the approval of a particulat caste😂 jai Hind! We have to appreciate our political parties and their politicians who have toiled all along since independence to sustain tension between castes or sects internally in all religions at the same breath maintaining the dividion among all religions still crying from roof tops that India is a democratic secular republic 😂!

[ENTERTAINMENT-jzfr]

Bjp is the next level of hilar version

[rajaudhay]

Support BJP . BJP will win the hearts of Karnataka people
