Lotus has bloomed in the garden city

At last, the BJP has made it in Karnataka and has formed its first independent government in the South of India. This despite the constant conundrum of the so-called secular parties that it is a virulent bigotous communal party. If the poll analysts are to be believed, this was only possible because of a substantial support from the muslims and SC/STs, who are not traditionally BJP supporters.

The Karnataka elections are a clear indication that at the end of the day, the empty negative rhetoric of the communists or the impotent grand designs of the so called socialists, namely, the congress and the Janata Dal are irrelevant. It is time these parties acknowledged the native intelligence of the voter. He knows that what is material is his own material progress.
