Stop operation lotus and focus on development

Today's by-poll election result held for 5 legislative assembly seats in Karnataka is a wake-up call for the ruling BJP. It's true that BJP has gained two seats and has opened an account in Chamaraja nagar district for the first time but two of it's heavyweight candidates, housing minister V.Somanna and C.P.Yogeshwar has bite the dust. Both these people have switched sides and had jumped to BJP within a year after having won on a congress ticket.

It's well known that BJP now having 117 seats is more stable and there is no need of "operation lotus" anymore. All it has to do now is just contain infighting within the party to complete it's five year term. People have given clear mandate today rejecting party hoppers. Now Yeddyurappa should focus on sorting out sickening power issue, improving infrastructure of Bangalore and development of a state as a whole.
