Even CNN-IBN, which is heavily biased against BJP and has been vigorously promoting Mayawati, has shown in its poll that Mayawati will make little inroads into upper caste...just putting up a 100 Brahmins will not do...you also have to treat these groups with dignity and respect, which she has never ever done. She made all types of efforts to woo Muslims, but still has no established trust in that community. SP has Yadavs, Muslims and good section of Upper Castes supporting it. BJP has most of Upper Castes and other OBC's...Mayawati still remains mostly confined to Dalits.

HI ,
It is fact that Brahmins have come away from their superstitions and know that what happened to Dalits was Inhuman to say the least .remember many of Buddha first disciples were Brahmins who opposed the ruthless castesim that prevailed at that time.

u r right friend every body should aware abt it that just making combination is not success but their should be some iodological similarties between brahimin and dalit, I can say that this upper caste will not feel relax under Mayawati rigim and their will again a break in BSP after election. Thakur Brahmin=New Party. And they will support Mulayam again, will be bad for UP politics. BJP will be teethless opposition which should in power but it can,t.
