Ktaka BJP puts Operation Kamal behind it to stay in power on its own in 2023 #IndiaNEWS #National ,Politics
By M. K. AshokaBengaluru, July 17 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Partys ambition of attaining power in south India still remains a distant dream. Though the saffron party has been successful in grabbing power through ‘Operation Kamal, so far all its attempts to gain a simple majority on its own in Karnataka have failed.
On two occasions, the BJP managed to get a majority in the 224- member legislative assembly in Karnataka by ensuring the collapse of the JD (S)-Congress coalition governments in 2008 and 2019. Former Chief Minister B. S. Yediyurappa who brought the party to power, was in the forefront of carrying out ‘Operation Kamal.
On both occasions Yediyurappa successfully broke the opposition parties JD (S) and Congress, ensured the victory of candidates in re-elections and managed to attain a simple majority in the state.
However, political analysts and progressive thinkers dub Operation Kamal as unethical. It was introduced for the first time in the history of the states politics.
The people voted for candidates who embraced the saffron party but did not give the BJP a clear mandate. The saffron party this time is strategising to obtain a clear mandate in the assembly elections without having to carry out Operation Kamal.
The BJP emerged as the single largest party with 79 seats after the 2004 assembly elections. The Congress won 65 seats and the JD (S) won 58 seats. The JD (S) extended support to the Congress to form the government.
However, in January 2006, 42 JD (S) MLAs revolted under the leadership of former minister Kumaraswamy. The coalition government collapsed. Kumaraswamy forged an alliance with the BJP and became the Chief Minister of Karnataka and B. S. Yediyurappa took oath as the Deputy Chief Minister.
The BJP was able to capture power for the first time in the south Indian state.
In 2008, the BJP managed to win 110 seats but fell short of a majority. It was able to form the government with the support of 6 independent MLAs. However, the BJP sacked the Independent MLAs later and managed to get a majority through Operation Kamal. In 2018, the BJP yet again emerged as the single largest party with 104 seats. The Congress won 78 and the JD (S) won 37 seats. To keep the BJP away from power Congress leaders went to the doorstep of former Prime Minister H. D. Deve Gowda and extended unconditional support to the JD (S).
H. D. Kumaraswamy took oath as the CM of Karnataka. The swearing in ceremony was attended by Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Sharad Pawar, New Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, BSP leader Mayawati, Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav, former Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu, Sitaram Yechury, Kamal Hassan, Ajit Singh, Tejashwi Yadav.
