in this
A win for the UPA will mean that anti-commie economic reforms can be pursued freely
It will also weaken the commies
In addition, by waiting another 10 months, the BJP will have a better shot
A loss for UPA will mean Mayawati as PM depending on left support
<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I too get the same feeling.
- If there is a victory for UPA, Mayavati will be butchered into pieces by Mulayam. Next UP election will be between SP/INC vs BJP. Muslims, already upset with Mulayam will be split or may not go out to vote. (Personally I feel Mayavati's policies are better for India than Mulayam's).
- It will damage third front.
- Most of the small parties will come to NDA for next election. BJP will get upper hand in negotiations.
- MMS' image of Mr clean will be lost forever. Sonia's corrupt practices will be well known to everybody in India.
- It will be difficult for all those small parties who supported UPA to get elected again, since it is obvious that they took money to support UPA.
- Only negative thing is the fall out in signing nuke deal. BJP should think of a strategy to counter the negative fall out, after the deal is signed.
- If UPA loses, Mayavati will become PM, but she will need support from either Congress or BJP. SP will not allow Congress to support her, and BJP said it prefers election. Even if she becomes PM, economy will be in a greater mess as she has to take left's support. It will be a an advantage for BJP (not necessarily for India, but tolerable since she is going to be in power only for 6 months).
- Risk is, next one will be a triangular election and UP may be swept by Mayavati, so NDA will be dependent on her. That will be bad because of her arbitrary behavior and her new found closeness to left.
- In general I think BJP should, behind the scene, encourage Akalis to support MMS since he is Sikh, while carrying forward the propaganda against UPA and MMS' corrupt practices in full throttle.
