Impact on NDA and JD(S)

• The inclusion of JD(S) in the NDA will strengthen the alliance and expand its support base in Karnataka.
• This move is expected to enhance the BJP’s prospects in the upcoming elections in the state.
• For JD(S), joining the NDA will provide them with more political leverage and a platform to voice their concerns and demands.
