The Karnataka free for all
Karnataka has remained prominent on the national political radar for some time now. Come May-end, the BJP will complete an eventful four years in power in the state. A fresh challenge has appeared on the political horizon almost every day over the last 48 months. The BJP projected itself as a party with a difference, and when it came to power in Karnataka, these differences came through in a unique way. Many non-BJP legislators were persuaded to resign and contest on the BJP ticket in the by-election.
