Nothing should be read in between the lines of Karnataka Chief Minister Mr HD Kumaraswamy ‘s the poison remark !
Ironically, this remark has not only blue colour to symbolise something of the exceptional or unique connotations but
to my mind it did exhibit multi- colours on the” Indian Political Spectrum” !
Now in the run up to the ensuing assembly polls in Madhya Pradesh, Rahasthan,Chhatisgarh,Mizoram and then the Grand
Final-2019 Lok Sabha Polls every day will throw up amusing, amazing and alluding tales, dramas and melodramas of rarest
class and order !
This poison remark of Mr.Kumaraswamy has indeed become food for thought for critics – a politician, political science
analysts, scribes, spokespersons and commentators like me which should be taken as a blessing in disguise stirring up the
political arena deriving astonishing and varying political semiotics out of this utterance of Mr.Kumaraswamy !
The post May,15 Karnataka Assembly Polls results ‘ sensational developments saga left everyone wonderstruck !
Mr. Kumaraswamy may be emotional in remarking that running coalition government is like drinking poison !
But paradoxically, he is forgetting that it was he who in league with Congress made NaMo led BJP drink poison when he dashed
NaMo’s hopes of enjoying the fruits of power in Karnataka to ground even though BJP coming too near to it !
This poison remark will sound very interesting and pleasing to the BJP after having been committed blunders and blemishes since May,15 the day Karnataka Assembly Polls results were declared.The BJP made desperate and frentic efforts to capture power by hook or crook in Karnataka after it fell eight short of the “magic number of 112. ” Ultimately for BJP, grapes proved sour in Karnataka !
Mr.Vaman Acharya, the learned BJP Spokesperson asserted that ” how in order to survive a coalition with Congress,you will have to
remain subserviant and leave your self-esteem behind ” Under NaMo led BJP the same music BJP leaders, rank and file are facing
playing second fiddle and subserviant to the big boss ! Can any traces of term like “self- esteem” to be seen in ruling BJP too ?
Then my fellow colleagues in media, political analysts and commentators are at liberty to react in the fashion they deem fit and true
but no body can deny the fact the Congress – Janata Dal(Secular) coalition government in Karnataka saw the light of the day in the last week of May out of a necessity of time not out of any deep thought, understanding and strategy !
If this coalition sprang out of the necessity of time then it could sustain too because of the same reason ! There will be such like flashes and flickers in future too !
It is a writing on the wall, if opposition wants to eclipse NaMo led BJP in the ensuing assembly polls in four states and then Lok Sabha Polls, the key to success lies certainly in averting split of Opposition Votes at all. The BJP’s interest lies in breaking opposition unity and to achieve its end of repeating 2014 Lok Sabha Polls feat ! The opposition can invite trouble and commit political suicide by by allowing BJP to effect cracks in its ranks and subsequently split its votes ?
Knowing the reality very well, even then if opposition wishes to commit the blunder of allowing split of its votes then who can forbid it from doing so ?
