Nothing succeeds like success, as the saying goes. Understandably, the victory of the Congress victory has given its cadre, as well as the entire Left-liberal media, a rare opportunity to celebrate. However, it is unfair to exploit the win and use it to vilify the BJP, their favourite whipping boy. Notwithstanding the shortcomings of the outgoing BJP government in Karnataka, the loss in this major state election shouldn’t be interpreted as a rejection of the BJP’s policies, programmes, and leadership.
