Operation Kamala

Operation Kamala was undertaken by BJP in Karnataka 6months back where in 8 of the MLAs from the opposite parties resigned to their seats and sought to contest again on BJP tickets. BJP which is 3 short of majority as of now in the assembly did this because of the swinging nature of the independents. But will this be useful for it? What if it turns counterproductive for BJP? If only 3 of them wins BJP will be in absolute majority for sure but a similar Operation Congress cannot be ruled out after that.
