It was one of the most keenly watched elections not for its sheer size alone, but for the strategy of Mayawati to unite Upper castes with her Dalit vote bank. The thumping victory she got would lead to a lot of re-engineering of vote banks. There definitely exists a large chunk of disgruntled and unrepresented forward caste vote base who have literally become orphans without any representation whatsoever in the minds of politicians. With the OBC issue becoming so hotly debated and all political parties out to aggressively woo them, the only section of the society which does not seem to get any attention is the Forward castes and yes - there lies the opportunity for the political parties to champion their cause aong with Dalits and Tribals wherever these form a large vote bank. The fun will start now - with Forward castes who were never on the vote-bank landscape arriving as a key factor. It will be interesting to see how BJP and INC are going to react to this. After all, all parties talk about Dalits, Tribals, OBCs, Minorities with special preference to Muslim minorities. Mayawati's USP has been to talk about Forward castes in the same breath as she talked about Dalits. Let the FUN begin.

ishan , tuzhe ploitics kuch samajhata nahi. Tu ghar baithkar cartoon Network dekh. OK !!
This time, Mayawati had heavily relied on the Brahmins and had even given over 90 seats to this community .. and she would be emerging with clear majority .. the upper caste people are also fed up with BJP and congress ... and hence they have taken side with Mayawati ... This is politics .. from calling people manuwadi to becoming manuwadi herself ... but anyways .. I appreciate Mayawati coz she is brave .. and not like the BJP leaders who are not ready to publicly speak in favour of the upper castes and also Ram mandir issue .. and brave leaders like Uma Bharati have been thrown out of BJP .. I think BJP is now doomed .. I would call upon VHP to float a new Political outfit and take in Uma Bharati as the leader ...

Maya wati is known for being very stern with underworld and mafia in UP which flourishes during Mulayam rule. People had no option but to change the governance. Every one what ever caste / religion wants relif from anti social elements. Kidnapping, ransom has become an Industry during Mulyam regime in UP and Lalu regime in Bihar.

I think UP has choosed their Bad Luck. Only good administrator can do good for UP. See the administration of Vasundhara Raje in Rajasthan.

is mayavati is educated? the ans is no - Was Kamaraj of TN educated??/ Still he is the best CM TN has ever got
is she nationalist? ans is not - Is Advani nationalist?? Who praised Jinnah??
is she a good administrator? the ans is no - Is FM, PC is a good administrator?? Having great Phoren degrees, he is the nutty fm we've ever got
is she civilized? the ans is no - What about the dozen MPs of BJP & Congress who shamelessly asked money for democratic duty of voicing people's problem at the Parliament. Are they civilized?? or other MPs who shamelessly trafikked girls in the name of WIFE and misusing diplomatic passports??? Is that Civilization?
is she less currupt? the ans is no ifact she is highly currupt. - Who else is not corrupt?? How about allegations against mahajan?? Bofors??
There is no correlation between education and good governance. It is the so called educated intellectuals in India are highly corrupt.
First of all, we shouldnt call ours as education. Its only a movement to make people read and right and not think and reflect on good societel values
NOW IF MAYAWATI HAS EMERGED A SOCIAL MESSIAH FOR ALL OF THE SECTION OF THE PEOPLE. THROUGH THE ADMINISTRATION OF UP SHE WOULD HAVE TO SHOW THAT SHE KEEPS THE CALIBRE OF A "GOOD ADMINISTRATOR TOO". NOW IT S OBVIOUS THAT ALL MOST ALL THE SECTION OF SOCIETY HAS VOTED HER PARTY. SHE WOULD HAVE COME OVER HER DALIT POLITCS SYNDROME. SHE WOULD HAVE ALSO TO PROVE THAT SHE CAN WORK FOR THE WELFARE OF DALITS,MUSLIMS, OBC & HIGHER CASTS ALSO. IF SHE PROVE HERSELF SUCCESS FULL IN THIS "AGNI PARIKSHA" THEN SHE MAY BE COUNTED AS TALL POLITICAL CHARACTER OF INDIA. SHE IS POLTICALY VERY HIGH AMBITIOUS. PERHAPES SHE HAS THE EYE ON THE PM CHAIRS. ONE DAY SHE MAY BECOME PM BUT FOR THIS PURPOSE SHE WOULD HAVE TO ADOPT MORE WIDER NATIONAL VIEWS.
I want to congratulate the people of UP for not electing the communal mafia of BJP. People can live in peace without the fear of mafia police that BJP creates. This is a lesson for the BJP mafia that they cannot win by dividing the people by showing dirty CDs and driving a hate campaign

I am not so sure about if BJP was behind this infamous CD or not. Let us forget the CD for the moment. So are you suggesting it is okay to divide people based on caste but not religion ?
So Mulayam and Maya is good because he only divides Hindus, but BJP is bad because it divides hindus and muslims. ... Nice thinking dude !! ...Try to be more rational next time posting.
