I am not sure who came up with such a brilliant idea of protesting a court decision. BJP is using 3rd or 4th level spokespeople to respond to it and they are focussing on Karnataka. I am not sure what is the use of all this drama. Perhaps they can now file a stay and then declare victory once the stay goes through? I am not sure people will be that stupid to not see their antics.
KAR is the much sought after and new ATM for the congis
It's vital to head them off at the pass and deny them the sustenance for 2024 battles.
This time, it looks like the congis are using a different strategy for 2024 and fighting on a lesser number of seats and thus concentrating on the ones where the winability factor is high.
The win in bigger and also richer states will yield copious resources. After the long drought from 2014 onwards, the congi war chests are running very low.
But huge gold and drug smuggling into India has resulted in BIF treasuries filling up very nicely.
To access those BIF resources, the congis will have to show that they are still big players and are still capable of winning important elections

There is a lot at stake both inside and also outside India. Large geo economic and geo political forces are looking for a Modi less outcome so they can get back to their pre 2014 days to tailor trade and market forces to their liking, without interference from India's national interests getting in their way and upsetting their apple carts.
