Not surprising that Mrs.Gandhi and Mayawati are buddies - the Taj corridor case will not be pursued if she supports the UPA. So its a win win situation for both. Sad to say but like sehwag the CBI should be dropped as they are not batting well at all. They have no case against Quattarochi or Mayawati or anybody only showing and shamming that they are investigating and making fool of the people.

i concur completely..but the situation of UP today is due to a chain of events which started in mid 80's..the government(congress and than BJP's) inability to support to progress of the state and instead divulging in the fullfilment of there own vendetta's menifested negitively on the state..within a decade the industries were dying for example (cotton textile in Kanpur which got reduced from 14 mills to just one ) the result were frequent strikes,shutdowns resulting in people getting unemployed and increase in crime rate,once this happened..the other states were booming (Maharashtra,Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh)now the upper middle class in a frenzy decided to persue there education and career in a more peaceful state with a better economy reducing the educated population of the state to half..these people dont vote in UP and they dont vote for the state where they are living..therefore almost 40percent of the states population doesnt practices there most important fundamental rights..the outcome is the government that comes into the power by dividing people on the basis of cast creed and religion, and capitalising on the ignorance of people..which ever government comes the condition of UP wont change because any government will not prefer people getting educated and choosing for them selves responsibily ..because if that happens,for sure ,nobody will be choosing there government..on the brighter side, you can see the youth of Uttar Pradesh gradually drifting away from polit

cont.. politics and getting more concerned about there career,looking at there peers..and as most of the senior politician in UP are above 50 or 60 years old with next 20 years,hopefully, they all shall be dead..giving the State and the people living there to start all over again.

It was the story in west bengal where long power cuts,violent strikes and drop in education standards drove industry and people out of the state. Now the Govt after 25 years are saying that it was mistakes of the past and is doing all it can to bring back industry. What happens to the youth of that time who are now old ? They had to waste their lives for a useless unproductive govt. whose only objective was to stay in power. Still better late than never and if the youth to-day have a better chance then good luck. People in UP just have to stand up and forc e the govt.to do what is good - for one start an agitation why there is no power and demand an answer.

UP has learned to live with the fact that what ever they do..nothing will change, which is wrong-but thats how it is..its a catch 22,which governemnt to choose..they all are same, in last 20 years things have become from bad to worse..and nothing was done by any government to curb it..as an individual, who likes to live away from home and work in a different state..but a certain section of UP's population (and Bihar and North East)is doing so..because there is nothing to do in our respective states.
