<!--QuoteBegin-acharya+May 10 2008, 08:00 AM-->QUOTE(acharya @ May 10 2008, 08:00 AM)<!--QuoteEBegin-->BJP MPs in Parliament say if the Congress does well in the Karnataka assembly election the government will go ahead with the nuclear deal and a consequent early general election since the Left will pull the government down.
Now, to link the highly complex matter of international affairs of nuclear proliferation and India's foreign policy to a state election is like anti-climax for India which wants to become a superpower in the coming decades.
Will the hopeful Dr Singh be spared of despair after the Karnataka election results are announced?

My Karnataka friends say the first phase is a Congress/JD stronghold where as the second and third phases are BJP strongholds. Even If BJP wins 25 in phase-1, it could get a simple majority overall and could form the government.
If BJP forms a government in KT on it's own, we are going to see a different political map of India. In the short run, the UPA governement will not fall until the last day.
