Had they played their cards intelligently they could have ruled as a dominant partner to BJP like BJD in Orissa or JD in Bihar. They could have negotiated for that for future elections when they went for an alliance with BJP to form the government.
From Acharya's post, it looks like Congress also wanted to finish off Gowdas.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
For Congress everyone else is a rival.
Other parties have not realised this yet.
Gowda has been fooled and threatened.
He was given the threat that partnering with BJP will also bring him down. There are indications that COngress may be planning to ban the BJP party itself. THis news has been floating since 2005.
