All the three prime opposition parties — JD(S), BJP and KJP — aligned to defeat Congress in the Mandya and Bangalore Rural LokSabha seats and also for the Upper House bypolls from Mysore, Chitradurga and Hubli. But the temporary understanding achieved little success as the Congress drubbed these parties with huge majority.
While JD(S), for the time, has remained silent on the formal alliance post the bypoll defeat, BJP appears to be giving confusing signals on this front. A senior leader and former minister in the BJP said they don't mind a continuing alliance with JD(S) as the party is looking at joining hands with anti-Congress political parties to face 2014 general elections.
Even state BJP president Prahlad Joshi said the alliance between BJP and JD(S) suffered a setback in the bypolls because of lack of clarity on it. "The dissent voice emanating from JD(S) confused the voters. We strongly believe clear understanding on a joint campaign and involvement of BJP cadres would have made a difference to the result," he said, hinting that the party is not averse to the open alliance.
Former deputy chief minister R Ashoka said the Congress won just because of the honeymoon period they are currently enjoying. "Alliance should have been open rather than a confused one for better results," he said. Despite the disapproval of some BJP leaders, Ashoka forged an alliance with JD(S) and also campaigned with Anitha Kumaraswamy in Bangalore South and Rajarajeshwarinagar assembly segments.
As a reward for tacit understanding with them in Lok sabha bypolls, the JD(S) gave up all the three seats in the Upper House. Even BJP and KJP fail to win a seat through this alliance.
The JD(S) had won the triangular fight in the byelection from Kanakapura in 2002 where former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda trounced Congress candidate DK Shiva Kumar by over 50,000 votes in the polls. Here, KS Eshwarappa was the BJP candidate and he had secured more than 2 lakh votes in the fight.
