Congress sweep in the South

Most of the pollsters might have got it wrong in Tamilnadu and Karnataka.
In Tamilnadu, it is tough to think about anyone who might want to vote for the AIADMK led front.
The people of Karnataka would also be aware of the need to have MPs who go on to be a part of the cabinet.

The level of information penetration which has been ongoing since 1984 is at a stage where the people realise that Dr Manmohan Singh is the only choice for Prime Minister for the country to move forward. Money power might win the day for the BJP in some backward areas.

In Tamilnadu the people are politically aware and would have followed the events in the Supreme court enacted by Subramanian Swamy. There are not many persons in Tamilnadu who can or might ever be feeling a sense of not having a say in the politics of the day.
Who ever will go against stability and go for empowering Jayalalithaa on the national stage. There might be a few who would imagine that the AIADMK and the INC would get together. Everything points to a 40-0 sweep for the DPA in Tamilnadu.

In Andhra and Kerala, the congress is all set to sweep the parliamentary polls.

The South, as always, is going to contribute to the bulk of the congress seats.

The INC might get upto 110 seats in the south alone.

Hype masters in office in karnataka

The Bjp is making a lot of noise about having come into the south.It is a national party and not a party with its head office in pakistan or afghanistan.The Communist parties are governing in the east and in the south.If the communists form the government in rajasthan sometime in the future,will they be talking about having gone into the west.The primary reason that the Bjp is excited is because there were no takers for its type of thinking in the south.If it was the first MP in the south,the soundbytes would have been understandable.
The urban youth in karnataka seem to have needed a militant outlet and the easiest one has been created and provided by the intellectual dummies of the Bjp.There is no thought about nation building,winning elections is the one achievement that excites the Bjp.Sections of the youth are not connected to the history and are in a need for some issue which allows them to mobilise aggressively.
The Janata party formed the government after the 1983 elections,providing a clean alternative to the congress 25 years back,winning 95 seats.
The janata dal was led by VP Singh and it won 115 seats in the karnataka elections of 1994 and formed the government.
The BSP won one seat in the same 1994 elections.
Both of these parties have their principal activity in the north.
The JD split into the JD(S) and the JD(U) in the 1999 elections,together polling 24 % of the votes.
The euphoria of the bjp about having debuted in the south reveals that there is something different in its policies and image.
It reveals a relief that its thinking can now be said to have found takers in the south.
It is a scar on the southern peoples that rabble rousers have found their way into office.

KARNATAKA ELECTIONS

Karnataka will get a new government,if it is stable it will be a sigh of relief by the people.
The Congress has a number of experienced and popular leaders.Mallikarjun Kharge might be a frontrunner if the congress manages a majority.
The Bjp faces a dearth of experience.
It is a surprise that the JD(S) is not among the contenders as it has the youngest chief ministerial candidate.
