BJP received a severe blow from the people of Karnataka. Until now, the party had emerged victorious in every election held across the country.
This setback in Karnataka, just ten months before the general elections, is a situation that the BJP finds hard to accept.
Conversely, the resurgence of the Congress can be seen as a significant relief for the opposition. While the opposition is battling against the BJP nationwide, the scenario in Andhra Pradesh is different.
The ruling BJP at the center has put the opposition parties of Andhra Pradesh in a challenging situation.
The opinions of the ruling and opposition parties regarding BJP's defeat have become a topic of discussion.
Although the YCP, TDP, and Janasena parties are not openly discussing the BJP's defeat in Karnataka, their activists are privately celebrating the outcome and expressing their joy on social media.
However, the leaders and key figures of these parties are maintaining silence. It is worth noting the overwhelming joy over the Congress' victory.
Internally, these three parties believe that the BJP will have to introspect with Congress' triumph. It is a well-known fact that the BJP at the center has been using agencies such as the ED, CBI, and IT to target the opposition parties relentlessly.
The defeat in Karnataka, coupled with the notion that anti-central government sentiments are growing in North India, could have a significant impact on the BJP in the upcoming general elections.
In light of this, particularly the TDP and Janasena, hope that the BJP will be more willing to forming an alliance with them. It is said that the recent meeting between Chandrababu and Pawan Kalyan also touched upon the Karnataka election results.
Chandrababu and Pawan Kalyan believe that the BJP will come down and extends a hand for them in light of the Karnataka results. They are of the opinion that Jagan can be restrained by keeping the BJP as an alliance.
However, the YCP hopes that the BJP will take a more positive stance considering its already strong relation with YCP. The Karnataka results have filled all three parties in Andhra Pradesh with happiness.
Will the BJP step down as predicted by these parties? Only time will tell.
