Finally BJP lost Karnataka, Which is the only state that BJP has foot holding in South India. With this then you discuss it started with her BJP’s march into South India has come to an end.
Ram Madhav, the strategist of BJP party, has tweeted on the day of election result, just before the final tally- that “ BJP south march has begun’. However after final tally the numbers have changed and Ram Madhav prediction has gone wrong. Even though initially government was formed with Yedyurappa, they have to relinquish it. Probably Congress JDS alliance will form government in couple of days.
So, BJP has to leave hopes on South India now. they don’t have any chance of coming into power in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Pondicherry, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. They can’t even come to power even if they form alliance with any of the regional parties in these States as they never had any cadre or leader in this states. With completely losing out in South India, they now have to depend solely on North India seats. it seems in 2019, even North India might not give as many seats as in 2014
So, Karnataka not only stopped BJP South March, it also made people doubt whether BJP will come back in 2019 or not in center.
