These 5 years will be lost in Maya trying to bury her wrong doings when she was in power last time (Taj corr. etc) and arm twisting Mulayam and his punters. In any case I am an optimist. I would have liked a BJP or Congress govt. Maya is still okay as Mulayam did nothing good for the state. Hope Mayawati takes some lead from Lalu and revives the state as he did railways.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289342.post-51011612792513938912007-05-15T16:52:00.000+05:302007-05-15T16:52:00.000+05:30Mayawati has already squandered the mandate within...Mayawati has already squandered the mandate within days of the the election results, whether caste played a part or not. Mass transfers of officials. But the greater wrong was to induct criminal elements into her cabinet. <BR/><BR/>One jungle raj has been replaced by another.<BR/><BR/>She will be at most a 5 year wonder. In earlier stints, she did not show any administrative abilities. She will rule, but what about the governanace! <BR/><BR/>With the Taj Corridor case hanging over her head, she will be arm-twisted too by the centre. And this would be a big hindrance to her dreams of becoming the Prime Minister.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289342.post-57370574141450176662007-05-15T01:29:00.000+05:302007-05-15T01:29:00.000+05:30i think u got it wrong, pradeep!
