As Karnataka gears up to vote on 10 May, its three main political parties — BJP, JD(S), and Congress — have their work cut out for them amid controversies and internal issues.
The decline of JD(S) in Karnataka is a mouth-watering chance for Congress and BJP as the state goes to the polls in mid-2023. But the Gowdas don't care much.
Since July, Karnataka CM B.S. Yediyurappa has not been able to meet PM Modi & Home Minister Amit Shah to discuss cabinet expansion, indicating a rocky relationship between them.
H.D. Kumaraswamy’s Congress-JD(S) coalition govt lost the trust vote 105 to 99 Tuesday, and BJP’s B.S. Yeddyurappa is set to be CM for the fourth time.
Karnataka CM H.D. Kumaraswamy has refused to take his father Deve Gowda’s advice to resign. Instead, he’s prepared to face a no-confidence motion on 12 July.
This is the game every nation is now learning to play. Some are finding new allies or seeing value among nations where they’d seen marginal interest. The starkest example is India & Europe.
