Bodhiji, I wasnt being facetious. He has that streak in him. Lets hope he demolishes that gunga-guddaa image someday. But for now we have a principal national level party which has a leader that has an impression that he is more agit-prop then a leader.. <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Also if you think about it VarunG/RahulG are two talwars which cannot be in the same myaan. Somethings got to give. So at what point Varun become a serious Gandhi ? At how many seats do gandhi-loyalists switch ? 25 ?
OTOH if Varun becomes big, what happens to Behenjis brahmin vote-bank ? If she loses some of the brahmins, who will benefit ?
So many factors. UP is indeed the best. <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Meanwhile we have Pankaj Vohra defending Varun.
