[ad_1] Electoral necessities almost always outweigh ideological foundations while forging political alliances. Hence, it's no surprise for former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda's Janata Dal (Secular), which as the name suggests has little ideological affinity to the BJP, to join an alliance with the ruling BJP led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.While the JDS and BJP have been allies in the past - the BS Yediyurappa-led BJP state unit formed a coalition government in Karnataka with Deve Gowda's son HD Kumaraswamy as Chief Minister in 2006 - the entry of the JDS into the NDA now is a very different chapter in the regional party's politics.This is the first time the JDS will form a pre-poll alliance while it is not in power running a coalition government in Karnataka. It has always wielded the "brute" post-poll bargaining power. Whenever Kumaraswamy had forged an alliance, it was to occupy the Chief Minster's post. In 2019, he fought the Lok Sabha polls as a Congress ally only because the Congress - which had 80 MLAs compared to JDS's 37 - had ceded the Chief Minister's post to him. Similarly, in 2006 he broke his alliance with the BJP as soon as he had to give up Chief Ministership.Secondly, and more importantly, the JDS is at its lowest ebb. It was battered by the Congress in the assembly polls, ending up with just 19 seats and a 13 per cent vote share, its lowest ever since its formation in 1999. So, this time it's an alliance for the very survival for the regional force. The BJP is in the driver's seat and in it for the long run. There are compelling regional reasons for the national party too for entering this alliance.It is a known fact that, traditionally, the BJP's Achilles heel in Karnataka has been JDS strongholds and the regional party's core OBC Vokkaliga caste vote base.For instance, the BJP won 25 of the 28 parliamentary seats in 2019 and lost the seats of Bengaluru Rural (won by the Congress's DK Suresh), Mandya (won by Congress rebel and independent candidate Sumalatha) and Hassan (won by HD Deve Gowda's grandson Prajwal Revanna).In fact, in 2019, the BJP candidate for the Hassan parliamentary seat was A Manju, who was a JDS rebel and later returned to the party and won the Hassan assembly seat in 2023. The BJP has never won these three seats, despite winning at least 17 of the 28 parliamentary seats in the state consistently since 2004.These seats, along with five more, define the JDS region of electoral influence. In an assembly poll this translates to around 50 seats. From the BJP's point of view the alliance with the JDS is the first step to a decisive reworking of the Karnataka political arithmetic, both for the parliamentary polls of 2024 and beyond. It needs to take over the JDS vote base, a strongly caste-affiliated voter who is essentially anti-Congress at the grassroots.The BJP is already considered the bastion of Karnataka's largest voting bloc - the Lingayat sect. The OBC Vokkaliga caste base of the JDS is the second largest vote bloc of Karnataka. While the Lingayats are spread across Karnataka the Vokkaligas are concentrated in the JDS's region of influence. Uniting the two is a recipe for success, but it is easier said than done.The BJP seems to be looking at the JDS eventually merging with it, like many small splinters of the erstwhile Janata movement have in other states, and that would create a bipolar Congress versus BJP narrative in Karnataka.One of the reasons the BJP has never won a simple majority in the southern state, despite having swept parliamentary polls, is because of its weakness in the JDS heartland. In an assembly poll a three-way fight has always benefited the Congress on JDS turf.For instance, in 2023, the BJP went after the JDS vote in Old Mysore and that helped the Congress sweep the region. OBC Deputy Chief Minister and State Congress President DK Shivakumar is from the Vokkaliga caste and dedicated himself hugely towards decimating the JDS in districts like Mandya. His job was made easier by the BJP splitting the JDS vote.Beyond this straightforward calculation, the presence of a strong third player in the JDS is one of the reasons for Karnataka's notorious "adjustment politics". Under-the-table political arrangements, family ties and business relationships between powerful political families in several constituencies go beyond party lines. While such dealings are a reality of Indian politics, it may be argued that they are far more prevalent in Karnataka.It's possibly why Karnataka has the richest MLAs in the country and despite the state never voting an incumbent government to power since 1985, there are incumbent candidates who have never lost their seats for decades. They shift parties with impunity.Dominant sections of the BJP's central leadership have held this as a main reason for the party's inability to win a simple majority in the state despite sweeping parliamentary polls. In fact, in 2023, the BJP made an effort to work around these arrangements, but failed miserably.This "adjustment politics" is also the reason the Congress's central leadership is careful in Karnataka decisions. For instance, in 2019, when the Congress-JDS alliance was toppled in the state, many, if not most, of the 13 Congress MLAs who resigned and switched to the BJP to support BS Yediyurappa were considered loyalists of present Chief Minister Siddaramiah, who himself shifted to the Congress from the JDS in 2004.Some of those MLAs are now looking at a return to the Congress and have publicly displayed their proximity to Yediyurappa, who was a master at striking alliances with MLAs cutting across party lines to get the BJP to power.The BJP central leadership has been keen to end this "adjustment politics" because it limits the party's hold on the government and also confines its growth in the state. Sections of the state leadership haven't yielded yet. Having a strong third player in the JDS is the first hurdle in ending such adjustments. So, the national party will use every weapon in its arsenal to ensure the JDS vote transfers to the BJP in 2024 and the seat sharing arrangement is likely to reflect that.Further, if the 2024 experiment works out for the BJP - nationally and locally - it will forge ahead in cannibalizing the JDS vote. The JDS is in no position to fight back. There are multiple factions in the Deve Gowda family. HD Kumaraswamy's brother and former minister HD Revanna is considered closer to the Congress.If the JDS disintegrates after 2024, different factions may head different ways and, in more ways than one, Kumaraswamy's entry into the NDA may well be the start of a long road with the BJP. A road where the BJP runs the show for him and one that could redefine Karnataka's political arithmetic.For the moment, Deve Gowda, who had claimed to be the secular ally of the Left Democratic Front in Kerala for years, may serve more proof that ideological positions are conveniently forgotten when his party tries to "rise from the ashes like a phoenix"! (Gowda had famously told reporters he would rise like a phoenix when he was unseated as Prime Minster in 1997)(TM Veeraraghav is the Executive Editor, BQ Prime.)Disclaimer: These are the personal opinions of the author.

Arvind Kejriwal To Meet Mamata Banerjee Today Amid Fresh AAP-Centre Row
The meeting comes after the Centre brought in an executive order that overrides the Supreme Court verdict on transfers and postings of officers that favoured the Delhi Government.
Kolkata: In another round of Opposition meetings across the country, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will meet West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at Nabanna, the state secretariat in Kolkata. The meeting comes after the union government brought in an executive order that overrides the Supreme Court verdict on transfers and postings of officers that favoured the Delhi Government led by Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party. The meeting is scheduled for around 2 pm.
The principal Opposition party, the Indian National Congress, which has so far been at loggerheads with the Aam Aadmi Party, on Monday indicated that while it agrees in principle that the Centre's executive order on transfers and postings in Delhi is undermining the Supreme Court, they would prefer to take a collective decision on their stance on siding with Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party in the Parliament.
"The Congress Party has not taken any decision on the issue of the Ordinance brought against the SC judgment on the powers of the Government of NCT of Delhi with respect to appointment of officers. It will consult its state units & other like-minded parties on the same.
The Party believes in the Rule of Law and at the same time does not condone unnecessary confrontation, political witch-hunt and campaigns based on lies against political opponents by any political party," Congress General Secretary K C Venugopal tweeted last night.
Other issues like forming a collective strategy to take on the BJP in 2024 could also be on the agenda as Mr Kejriwal meets Mamata Banerjee. The meeting comes after Mamata Banerjee has already met several Opposition leaders from across the country including Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, RJD's Tejaswi Yadav, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, and JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy. While all these leaders have been keen on a common strategy, Mamata Banerjee has also met Naveen Patnaik who has announced he will stay away from any Opposition formation.
Nitish Kumar and his deputy Tejashwi Yadav on Sunday flew to Delhi and met Arvind Kejriwal, who has proposed a Rajya Sabha "plan" that could be a "semi-final" before the general elections.
Arvind Kejriwal will also meet Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray and NCP Chief Sharad Pawar on May 24 and 25 respectively in Mumbai to discuss the plan to block the Ordinance in the Rajya Sabha.
The centre has justified the Ordinance saying that dual authority and responsibility of the national capital will endanger security, and affect the coordination that the administration of the country requires.
Senior government officials explained to NDTV the five most important factors that drove the Centre's decision.
Sources said the Centre took extensive feedback from bureaucrats, specifically those working in Delhi. "Many have communicated to us how they are unable to work efficiently and are often accused of siding with the Centre," they said.
KC Venugopal on Monday also said the opposition will hold a meeting in which many parties will participate.
His remarks came after a meeting with Nitish Kumar, who is leading the charge of uniting the opposition parties against the Bharatiya Janata Party ahead of next year's Lok Sabha polls.

"Yes, both (BJP and the Congress) have tried reaching out to us,” confirms JD(s) party senior official
After the majority of exit polls predicted a hung assembly in Karnataka, HD Kumaraswamy's Janata Dal Secular on Thursday stated that they have started feeling signs of need from the Congress and Bhartiya Janta Party. Even though Mr Kumaraswamy is in Singapore, the senior official of the party had cleared that the decision has been taken for whom we should partner.
senior JD(S) leader Tanveer Ahmed during an exclusive interview with a leading news channel said, "The decision is done. It's taken. We will announce it to the public when it is the right time to."
On the other front, the Bhartiya Janta Party has cleared that it has not reached JD(S) and continued to exude confidence about a clear mandate.
BJP's Shobha Karandlaje was also a part of the interview during which she said, "no question of coalition at all, the BJP has not contacted the JD(S)".
"We are sure to get 120 seats. After gathering information on ground from our karyakartas yesterday, we have arrived at a number -- 120," she added.
When questioned about BJP denying the fact, JD(S) stated that the party has indeed reached out for forming a joint government.
"Yes, both (BJP and the Congress) have tried reaching out to us... The JD(S) is in such a position today that parties would like to reach out to us," said Tanveer Ahmed.
"The people of Karnataka wants us to keep check on both national parties for the betterment of the state. And I don't think there's any reason why a regional party wouldn't want to work for the development of Karnataka," he added.
when asked about their choice of party to partner with, Tanveer said, "The people who are going to work for the betterment of Karnataka and Kannadigas".
Answering a question about the number of seats the party has won, Tanveer said, "Nobody can form a government without us. That's a good number, I think. We could not match the resources of the national parties in terms of money, might, muscle. We were a weak party. But we know we performed enough to be a part of the government".
The JD(S) chief is in Singapore undergoing treatment for his bad health. he took the reign of the party after party patriarch HD Deve Gowda.
