I really think these 2009 elections are going to be very interesting. It seemed just a couple of months ago that it may be one-sided with Congress winning fairly easily but now with the latest turn of events, I think the Congress should be worried, very worried.
Congress' inability to come up with a suitable seat sharing arrangement in UP and Bihar will certainly affect its chances in those states. Of course, there is a good chance that Mulayam Singh and Lalu will re-join UPA after the elections but they also cannot be trusted.
PMK jumping ship to ally with AIADMK is a big blow to the INC in Tamil Nadu.
The BJP also lot an important ally in BJD in Orissa and they have also lost foothold in AP without TDP's support.
The third front suddenly looks reasonably good. While India may hit a new low making Mayawati as the Prime Minister, it may also mark the beginning of the end of the Nehru Dynasty in Politics which could be a very welcome thing.
Imagine that Rahul Gandhi's future wife has a far better chance of becoming the Prime Minister of our country than you or I no matter our qualifications and that is very sad. So, I for one, am rooting against the congress in these elections.
