<b>Moolahyumm, Congress battle for 3rd place in UP</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Mayawati has fielded candidates who are not only resourceful but also have good money power to counter her enemy's moves. Most of them have already proven their strength while shelling out around Rs 1 crore for the BSP ticket for this prestigious election.
The BJP has slightly improved its position and its dedicated RSS cadres will try to take further advantage of the anti-incumbency wave blowing all over UP.
Mayawati activated her dedicated cadres six months ago and they have been working incessantly in the interiors.
Moolahyumm's cadres were once very good, but this time they are a disgruntled and demoralised lot. Frustration has seeped in, and they have become indifferent, thanks also to his brother Shivpal Singh Yadav's misadministration.
The Congress cadres are comparatively poor in all respects
<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd--><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--> <b>The Muslims have now to seriously lean towards the Congress. After all, Mayawati has unwittingly labelled them as kattarpanthi (rabid communalists). What about Muslim support to Moolahyumm? Well, the Muslims are far too shrewd to waste their votes on a losing horse</b>.
Mayawati's elephant has been majestically striding towards the victory stand, least bothered by the wayside palmists, flower-vendors and cyclists.
The BJP will trail way behind the elephant. The others will pick up the crumbs by the wayside.
UP is a very, very important state for the Congress party to neglect. More so, with the parliamentary election not very far away, Sonia can ill-afford to lose UP. The Congress will fight tooth and nail.
This time, the Congress and all its ragtag allies put together may succeed in just tilting the balance, and pipping the over-confident Moolahyumm Singh's Samajwadi Party at the ribbon for the third place!
