These days Arun Jaitley, general secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Party, is a little anxious and cautiously hopeful. He is his party's strategic planner for the Karnataka assembly polls. On May 25, when the election results come out he will know if, once again, he has proven lucky for his party or not. In Karnataka he has cleverly manipulated that the anti-Lingayat votes do not get united in favour of the Congress on the eve of the assembly election by not alienating the Vokkaligas overtly or covertly. He also benefited by default because Mayawati helped cut the anti-Lingayats going en masse to the Congress. In 2003 he was in charge of Madhya Pradesh assembly elections, in 2002 and 2007 he was in charge of Gujarat. The the BJP won all the three elections.
