“Karnataka elections will be a pointer to national politics. If Congress wins in Karnataka, it will strengthen the anti-BJP coalition in the country,” political analyst and former advisor to former Prime Minister late A.B. Vajpayee Sudhindra Kulkarni has said.
Addressing a press conference in Hubballi on Wednesday, he said that the whole country is eagerly awaiting the results of the Karnataka elections and if BJP gets defeated, it will strengthen the opposition parties.
Mr. Kulkarni said that the BJP has completely changed now and there is a need for unseating it in both in the State and at the Centre. “They say development is possible only through double-engine government which is against the very objectives of democracy and the Constitution. In their double-engine government, there is only one driver who controls both the State and the Centre. Whoever may be the Chief Minister here, their remote control will be with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah,” he said.
