How a googly âmade in Andhra Pradeshâ stopped BJP in Karnataka How a googly âmade in Andhra Pradeshâ stopped BJP in Karnataka By : Nabanita Chakorborty | Updated on: 22 May 2018, 07:42:06 AM Bengaluru: What may have denied the BJP its full-fledged royal victory is the wrath of the scorned Andhraite who got brethren in Karnataka to “avenge” by defeating the party that short changed Andhra Pradesh and left it begging for funds. The BJP and its leaders are loath to admit it, but the traditional campaign of the Telugu-speaking people and leaders of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and the Congress from neighbouring Andhra Pradesh among the Telugu-speaking voters in Karnataka hit the target. It inflicted defeat in some crucial and very closely contested seats and frustrated the BJP and its powerful electoral machinery. The BJP ended with 104 seats, eight seats short of the magic number.
