While in some sense Behenji did deliver a blow to Arjun Singh, I think this is a cop-out. The idea behind reservations is that either a community is backward or forward. Whats needed is a quota for the 'upper' castes. There is no such thing as poor-upper-caste and rich-upper-caste. The game of quota-politics (cynical or not) needs to be taken to its logical conclusion. Behenji has to deliver on that or face loosing her brahmin-votebank.
