WITH 136 seats, the Congress is headed for one of its biggest victories in Karnataka. It is also a huge win for the party nationally, which has only won Himachal Pradesh since the 2019 Lok Sabha poll loss. In terms of both electoral weight as well as symbolic, for being the only state held by the BJP in the south, Karnataka is a big victory for the Congress. The party will hope to also have put behind the criticism often thrown at it for not fighting long or hard enough, having crafted its Karnataka campaign carefully and strategically.

DK Shivakumar stands a good chance of becoming Karnataka Chief Minister if the Congress comes to power in the state. But ironically for the leader, his first big shining moment in recent politics came in Gujarat. Shivakumar shot to national limelight in 2017 when Sonia Gandhi’s long-time advisor, the late Ahmed Patel, faced a tough Rajya Sabha election. The contest was quite the cliff-hanger with the BJP pulling with all its might in PM Narendra Modi’s home state.

जयपुर (नवोदय टाइम्स): राजस्थान में हर पांच साल बाद सरकारें बदलने की बीते 25 साल से चली आ रही परंपरा इस बार भी बरकरार रहती दिख रही है। प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी की 13, भाजपा अध्यक्ष अमित शाह की 32, मुख्यमंत्री वसुंधरा राजे सिंधिया की 75 और आदित्यनाथ योगी, रमन सिंह, शिवराज सिंह समेत बाकियों की 222 जनसभाएं तथा 15 रोड शो के बाद भी भाजपा जनमानस की धारणा बदल पाने में कामयाब नहीं दिख रही। हालांकि प्रचार में इतनी ताकत झोंकने से भाजपा मैदान में डटी है। लोगों की धारणा (परसेप्शन) न बदल पाने के पीछे कांग्रेस की माइक्रो प्लानिंग को मुख्य वजह कहा जा रहा है।
