RajeshJi, the only woman in UP that has charisma is already the Chief Minister wanting now to become Prime Minister.
Priyanka or no Priyanka, congress can win no more than 4-5 seats in UP on their own.
Likewise, sans-Yogi/Modi-like Hindutva, BJP can win no more than 10-12 seats in UP, plus Ajit singh's 4-5.
Best bet for NDA/BJP, if they seriously want to avoid another Anti-Hindu govt in center, is to go in for an understanding with Mayawati. That would sweep the whole state with all its 80 seats in favour of the alliance. Their voters are very much transferable to each other and in common, unlike the other combinations. The sacrifice BJP will have to of course make is the PM-ship to the daughter of the dalit, or something of that sort. A sweep in UP will ensure a comfortable NDA+BSP at center. Lack of pre-poll alliance will ensure division of votes and some leakage of seats (about 20-25) to Amar Singh. To co-opt mA-yA, "who-is-not", should not be a bad idea for Hindus at all, IMHO etc.
