Hindutva's fight against corruption in Karnataka
NEW DELHI: Ahead of the polls in Karnataka on May 10, the battleground for local issues versus Hindutva is set. Congress has effectively raised local issues and has been successful in raising the issue of 40 percent commission embezzlement by the BJP government in the election campaign. The Congress duo of Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar working as a team despite their differences has increased the dominance of the Congress.
For the BJP, issues such as a revolt in ticket distribution, doubts about leadership, resignation of old leaders and a split in the Lingayat vote have created a negative atmosphere, but the Congress has given hope to the BJP by talking about a ban on the Bajrang Dal.
BJP's hope now rests on polarizing Hindu votes by raising the issue of Bajrang Bali. Modi-Shah-Nadda has spread enthusiasm among BJP workers by promoting Hindutva on issues including Bajrangbali by holding uprachapari rallies. The BJP is also hoping that the BJP-Sangh alliance has infiltrated Dalits, OBCs and tribals.
