Frankly speaking it is sad to see that BJP is tying up with JD(S).
The reasons what Venkiah Naidu said for the tie up are as follows
1. No fresh elections
2. Remove the corrupt congress government
3. First time BJP is forming a government in south india.
It is crystal clear that, it is point no 3 that has made them go for a tie up. I would like to ask these questions to the BJP high command.
1. Even a layman knows that it is because of JD(S) that the current state of affairs in karnataka is a joke. Now you have gone ahead and formed an alliance with them. Whats the guarantee that JD(S) will allow you to do any work?
2. Are you not confident of your own party strength? You are the single largest party in karnataka with 79 seats. Still you have settled for the deputy chief minister post. Does it mean that you want to come to power at any cost?
3. Agreed that it is so nice to form a government for the first time in the south. But there are dangers of this being the last time also 
Did you consider that?
4. Deve Gowda is a master strategist. Deliberately, he might be acting that he is against BJP. But it would be he, who is moving the pawns from the background. Tomorrow his son will go and fall in his legs, seek his blessings. And Poor old man will forgive his son and things will become pally pally. What happens then?
5. And am very sure, there will be misunderstandings between you and JD(S). Then surely there will be an election. And that will be a shot in the arm for Congress(I) in the next elections. All the mistakes done by dharam and co will be buried under the carpet. And it will be you, who is blamed for the state of affairs in karnataka. With what face will you go and ask people to vote for you?
6. I cant believe you can take such a short sighted step
It is really a sad day in the history of BJP and its followers!
And it is funny that Deve Gowda is talking about betrayal. Remember Mr Bommai, Gowda?

The other arrangement being worked out is said to be on the Jammu and Kashmir model. The Janata Dal (S) will head the Government in the first half of the remaining 40-month term of the 12th Legislative Assembly and the BJP the second half (20 months).

Good Questions. Good Melodrama scenarios that you have highlighted.
All too common in India. It would happen, for all that we care. I JUST HOPE THAT JD(S) DOES NOT COME BACK! Let them be with the SOIL itself and pride in themselves being with the “mannu”….

Completely agree.For a hardcore BJP supporter like me,it’s disheartening/disturbing to see the way the party is talking/working/formulating policies after the shock defeat in the 2004 elections.
It’s stupid to believe that H.D.kumaraswamy has rebelled against his dad,it’s Deve Gowda who has setup the entire thing.
I am happy to see the back of fatso,lazy,opportunist Dharam Singh but it’s better to have an election again(like Bihar)than a BJP-JD(S)tie up.It’s the BJP who stand to lose the most&the Congress who stand to gain.But if the BJP can put it’s foot down&do some real work then the whole scenario changes.CAN THEY????

JD(whatever that means and existed as an invisible entity) was split and the S in JD was referring to secular (which in bharat translates to anti BJP).
so anti -BJP ism is the reason for the party coming to existence.
but ippo….
arasiyalile idellam sagajam
Another fact Junior vikatan has mentioned abt this same scenario 10 days back…
