Bengaluru, Mar 17 (UNI) The political landscape in Karnataka is undergoing a significant transformation with the formation of an alliance between the BJP and JDS. Led by former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda, the JDS traditionally holds influence in the old Mysuru region. This alliance marks a strategic move by the JDS to counter the Congress' dominance in the region and consolidate Vokkaliga votes, leveraging Prime Minister Modi's popularity.
The old Mysuru region, where the JDS has a strong presence, is poised to witness intense political competition, as the BJP-JDS alliance aims to challenge the Congress' hold.
