We keep hearing from Left that UPA should not take them for granted for supporting current govt. In fact the noise is being amplified during the current UP elections. I don't think Left can afford to ditch UPA as that will be one sure way of bringing BJP back. In fact the recent successes of BJP should be enough deterrent for Left to do anything rash. I hope Congress won't take them seriously, and continue their reform path. In fact it is this perception about Congress that they are tied down by Left is what is helping BJP.

So I ask the members the effect of UP elections on current parliament and the chances of completing the full term. What are effects on our state govt including separate state movements?

The suggestion of Pawar as PM by Sivsena leader is another indication of potential political realignment after UP elections. My guess is he is trying to induce Pawar.

In my opinion, BJP may make inroads into UP's asembly but with very slender margins. Left cannot venture sudden ditching of UPA because of mulayams defeat in UP. CBN, JJ and others will have to go back to their basics once BJP comes into power at UP. This is the same thing Congress wants. I may be wrong also.

Mayawati hints at SP forming Government with BJP support

Special Correspondent

Claims the two parties had a pre-poll understanding in Uttar Pradesh

LUCKNOW: Bahujan Samaj Party leader Mayawati on Tuesday hinted at the possibility of a Bharatiya Janata Party - supported Samajwadi Party (SP) government in Uttar Pradesh after the Assembly elections. The BJP's gesture may be reciprocated by the SP at the Centre, she claimed. The Samajwadi Party and the BJP had entered into a tacit understanding and this was reflected in selection of candidates in some constituencies. Like the BJP, the Congress was also interested in retaining power at the Centre. The Congress-led UPA Government's refusal to dismiss the State Government after the Supreme Court verdict on MLAs' defection was aimed at this, she said.

Ms. Mayawati alleged that Chief Minister Mulayam Singh and SP general secretary Amar Singh were preparing to leave the country after the elections. Stating that only the BSP could dethrone the SP Government, she assured the voters that her government would free the State from "goonda raj" and strive for a "samta moolak samaj" (equitable society).

Addressing an election meeting at Rifah-i-Aam Club here, Ms. Mayawati alleged that crores of rupees, earned through bribes and commissions, were stacked in foreign banks during the SP rule.

Exhorting the people to vote for the BSP to end the "jungle raj," she accused the BJP, the Congress and the Rashtriya Lok Dal of foisting the SP Government. Since the formation of the present Government, the State had become synonymous with lawlessness, poverty, unemployment and incidents such as the Nithari serial killings, the madrasa rape case and the Kavita Rani case. Ms. Mayawati assured the people that a BSP government would address all problems. She held the Congress responsible for the situation in the State, as it was in power in the State and at the Centre for 40 years.

BSP national general secretary Satish Chandra Mishra cautioned the party's Brahmin supporters against the designs of other parties to split the Brahmin vote. Mr. Mishra said unlike other parties, the BSP had restored the pride and prestige of Brahmins.

here the situation is not that easy, as mayawati alleges, congress, BSP want to be together and form a government and in this fluid state no one can predict the results however Rahul's effect on UP elections cannot be just ruled out.
