Karnataka Election: The Congress is returning to power with a thumping majority in the Karnataka assembly elections. This electoral defeat for the BJP has raised concerns for the future. Out of the total 224 seats in the state, the Congress seems to be winning more than 130 seats while it is seen shrinking within 65 seats. The political importance of this election is not only limited to the politics of Karnataka, but it is also considered important from the point of view of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. In such a situation, the defeat of Karnataka has increased the tension for BJP’s mission-2024. Let us tell you that BJP has set a target of winning 400 seats for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
From this point of view also, the election of Karnataka was being considered more important for the BJP. In such a situation, it may not only be difficult but impossible for the party to achieve its target due to BJP being out of power in Karnataka. The Karnataka election was being considered as the semi-final of 2024. In such a situation, the party’s defeat has increased the concern for the future. BJP’s electoral defeat may reduce the party’s seats in Karnataka in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, out of 28 seats in the state, BJP won 25 and its supporting independent candidate won one seat while Congress-JDS got one seat each. In such a situation, it may be difficult to repeat the results of 2019 in the defeat of BJP in Karnataka and the seats of Congress may increase. There may be less seats for BJP in Karnataka in 2024.
