In the assembly elections held in Karnataka in the month of May, the BJP and JDS had to face a crushing defeat in front of the Congress. However, now both parties have announced that they will fight against the Congress together in the assembly. With this, the speculations about the alliance between the two parties in the state have gained strength in the next year’s Lok Sabha elections as well.

Will there be a BJP-JDS alliance in Karnataka? Who benefits from it? Know its impact on the 2024 Lok Sabha elections

JDS was not seen with anyone in the recent gatherings of the NDA and ‘India’. However, now both parties have united in Karnataka. In such a situation, many questions arise: what is going to happen in the politics of Karnataka now? What is the preparation of both parties for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections? What is the reason for coming together with the BJP and JDS? Who will benefit from the alliance? Let’s know…

What has happened in Karnataka politics now?
In fact, a meeting of the Janata Dal Secular (JDS) Legislature Party was held on Thursday night. Party supremo and former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda also participated in this Legislature Party meeting. After the meeting, on Friday, JDS leader and former Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy announced that his party has decided to work together with the BJP as the opposition in the interest of the state. He said that party supremo Deve Gowda has authorized him to take any final decision regarding the party.

What is the preparation of both parties for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections?
This statement by HD Kumaraswamy comes amid reports of JDS’s possibility of an alliance with the NDA before the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Kumaraswamy said that there is still time to talk about this in the Lok Sabha elections. Let’s see when the election to Parliament is held. It has been advised to organize the party. At the same time, he said that Deve Gowda has authorized me to take any final decision regarding the party.

What is BJP doing about the alliance?
Last week, former Karnataka Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Basavaraj Bommai indicated talks to come together with the BJP and JDS. Since then, speculation has started that JDS may join the NDA before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

The former chief minister said that the outcome of the discussion would decide future political developments. On the possibility of JDS joining the NDA, Bommai said it would depend on the discussion between our leadership and JDS president HD Deve Gowda. JDS leader HD Kumaraswamy has expressed some sentiments, and the discussion will continue in that direction.

Recently, there have been enough indications from the leaders of the BJP and JDS that there is an understanding between the two parties before the Lok Sabha elections. Veteran BJP leader BS Yeddyurappa had also said that his party and JDS would fight the Congress government in the state together. Kumaraswamy had given a statement that a decision will be taken on making an electoral understanding when the conditions are created.

What is the reason for coming together with the BJP and JDS?
In order to deal with the challenges of the opposition in the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP plans to increase the size of the NDA and bring about necessary changes in the organization of the states. Under this strategy, the party leadership worked on a plan to increase the NDA clan last month. Party sources said that in the two-day marathon meeting, Home Minister Amit Shah brainstormed with party president JP Nadda, general secretary Sunil Bansal, and organization general secretary BL Santosh to resolve these issues. Sources also told me that JDS is ready to join NDA in Karnataka. However, there are many screws in both cases that have yet to be resolved.

JDS state unit is protesting
JDS is ready for an alliance with the BJP in Karnataka. The party has sought Mandya, Hassan, Bangalore Rural and Chikballapur seats. However, the state unit of the BJP is opposing this alliance, saying that without JDS, only the party will be able to repeat the previous performance. In the last election, the BJP got 25 out of 28 seats, while the JDS got only one seat. The final decision on this will be taken by the central leadership.

Defeat in assembly elections is also a reason
After the defeat in the Karnataka assembly elections, the BJP has made a big change in its strategy in South India. The party is now looking for new allies in different states in South India. However, despite the consent of HD Deve Gowda in Karnataka, the party is unable to take a final decision.

Who benefits from the BJP-JDS alliance?
Both parties have come together in the fight against the Congress in the state, but the Lok Sabha elections are still in doubt. At present, if we talk about the political power of BJP and JDS in the state, then BJP looks far ahead of JDS. Out of 28 Lok Sabha seats in the state, a maximum of 25 are with the BJP. Apart from this, one MP is Congress-JDS and one is a pro-JDS independent MP.

When it comes to Karnataka, there is a lot of speculation about the BJP’s relationship with the JDS. While some analysts believe that going together will help both parties, others say that the possible marginal gains for the BJP may not be worth the alliance. Earlier, the alliance between Congress and JDS was pointed out before the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, when both parties could win only one seat each.

Now that talks are underway on the BJP-JDS alliance, one question is whether the two parties can transfer votes to each other. In the recent assembly elections, the BJP’s vote share was 36% and the JDS had 14 percent, but the BJP alone got 52 percent of the votes in the last Lok Sabha elections. While JDS needs the BJP, it does not need to depend on regional parties.

Serious efforts are being made by the BJP to take JDS along in the Lok Sabha elections. On the surface, it looks like a good equation, but there are huge issues on the ground that are yet to be resolved. There are BBMP and District Panchayat elections before the Lok Sabha elections. Any alliance will have to perform well in these two elections, and there should be chemistry between the two parties for the alliance to work.
