P.G.R. Sindhia, a senior Janata parivar politician who re-joined the JD(S) recently, says some particular communities are being given a lot of importance. “These factors will go against Siddaramaiah,” he says. But it won’t be easy either for the BJP, says Sindhia, pointing to the differences within the leaders of that party. The JD(S) has lost some of its partymen to the Congress but it’s still a force, chiefly among the Vokkaligas who are the second largest community after the Lingayats. Analysts say it would force a triangular contest in many seats, and if the two big parties fail to get a majority, the JD(S) will be back in the game.
