Sab Maya hain

The UP election seems to have taken everybody by surprise. After a decade of patch work coalation govt. and presidential rules, UP seems to have unanimously voted for the Mayawati's BSP. BJP, SP and Congress all were far too behind to even give a worthy notice.

Mayawati who after 2 maybe three failed attempts as the CM now comes onboard as the Cm of UP. Probabaly the stint with BJP that lasted 18 months was her longest stint as CM as the first one was harldy for a few days.

Maya bought about a new turn around as she went away from the party to the dalit image and bought in upper caste brahmins into her party. This has improved the image of the party and made her standup in the light of the current events. Mulayam Singh had to take a huge beating as the SP was no-where close to be noteworthy. THe media friendly Amar Singh seems to have gone under-ground as the poll results were declared.

Maya seems to have bought about a renaissance into the party's image and is now seen as the party commander than the founder Kanshi Ram.

Let's hope that this is for the good of the people of UP, the largest state in India. This means a huge change into the Indian political arena as the UP constitutes the highest # of MLA's into parliament. How I wonder what's in fate for the coming elections.
