Though the political ideology of the BJP and the Janata Dal (S) appear to be polls apart, leaders of both the parties believe that the proposed alliance between them is only “natural” considering the present political circumstances and ground realities.
While the morale of the BJP is down as the party has lost miserably in the recent elections to Karnataka Assembly, despite vigorous campaign by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the JD(S) has lost political ground even in its main support base of the Old Mysore region.
