A negative vote?

KLN Prasanna analyses the Karnataka poll results:

The planks, on which the BJP campaigned, were not their usual communal rhetoric. Rather it was “good governance”, with the poster boy of BJP’s development mantra, Narendra Modi campaigning extensively for the state. Analysts may also go insofar as to call it anti-incumbency and they would be right in certain aspects of it, such as the decimation of the JD(S). However, it was more a case of not voting for the JD(S) – INC alliance than voting for the BJP. Moreover, there was a feeling from many in the state that the INC Candidate for CM, SM Krishna was more CM of Bangalore than a CM of Karnataka. Indeed the very same opinion was carried out by analysts at CNN-IBN amongst other TV stations. In addition, many in Bangalore itself, blame him for infrastructure woes that have continued to plague the “Silicon Valley of India”.
