The Karnataka results have created a ripple effect across India. Though it is just one amomg 28 Indian states, the verdict of Karnataka has been showing up huge impact on nationwide politics.
While Congress has got reenergised with thumping victory, BJP has been severely disappointed. While victories and defeats are common in politics, the way Prime Minister Narendra Modi campaigned in Karnataka made it into a Modi Vs Congress war.
Many believed that though local Karnataka BJP is facing anti-incumbency, Modi’s charishma will save them. Especially Telangana BJP, which is raring to pocket power in Telangana, assumed that if BJP comes back to power in Karnataka, then even they can repeat the same feat in Telangana riding on Modi’s popularity. With PM Modi failing to woo Karnataka, Telangana BJP leaders and cadres are severely disappointed.
