Bengaluru: There is only one more week left for the Assembly elections. Against this backdrop, the Congress, BJP and JDS parties are conducting final stage exercises and are formulating tactics to win the hearts of the voters in the last minute.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who is known as BJP’s Chanakya, has camped in Bengaluru and is chalking out strategies for the party’s victory. BJP is making a plan to create a buzz in the state by making more effective use of open campaigns.
Central and state leaders are already engaged in campaigning on behalf of the candidates, and what steps they will take to formulate each strategy after observing the last strategy of Congress and JD (S) has also aroused interest.
Shah, who has brought information about the ongoing campaign in Karnataka, planning on how should an open campaign be conducted in the last stage? He will formulate a strategy in this regard as well. Now, BJP is planning to make effective use of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bengaluru mega road show and district campaigns.
Modi’s mega road show and manifesto controversy have created a headache for Congress, which was in the mood to win. A Modi road show can be effective in capturing people’s attention completely in the last phase of elections.
In this regard, it is imperative for the Congress to devise an alternative strategy. In this regard, using the problems caused to the people by the road show as an anti-campaign and charging 40% commission, bringing the issue of price hike to the fore again, the Congress leaders are formulating a strategy.
Amidst the clamour of the two national parties, the JD (S) is also making an effort and last try to retain its vote bank. For this, the sentimental local identity, the propaganda idea from Deve Gowda is being used more often. Former Prime Minister H. D. Deve Gowda is campaigning despite his illness at the age of 89. An emotional touch is also being given to Gowda’s campaign.
Altogether the three political parties are engaged in last-minute effort, planning and strategies. But whose strategy will prevail will be revealed on May 13.
