Hasn't one independent crossed over to BJP side. So even if the independents vote. It will be 107 to 104.



But can the BJP win 6 seats in the bypolls. Also I guess the speaker is not included in this.

There are two absentions. So if you include then it will be 106+1+1 and 100+1+4 which is 108 - 105. With Speaker it will be 109 to 105. A gap of four is not bad because BJP was always like when they won the election couple of years back. Operation lotus brought them to a gap of about 10. They will have to do Operation Lotus-2. It is very much a possibility. Karnataka is the only state where Temples and mutts are involved on behalf of BJP. The like minded ones in both INC and JDS will poached to resign and get elected on BJP ticket. The developmental activities that they have undertaken in North Karnataka could be completed in another couple of years which may put them for a strong return to power in the next elections.



For BJP changing Yeddi will be brutally suicidal. They have to just stick to him no matter what.
