It has been immensely educative to go through your e-columns. Why so few mainline journals ever write like you?! Perhaps it is because you toil through field-visits with a very sharp congitive senses. I guess you can do a separate piece on how the anti-incumbency votes were garnered by Vijaykant, Chiranjeevi, MNS etc. by backing it up with statistical analysis and give it a historical perspective. Another theme could be how much populism cost the UPA. Or the significance of main schemes of UPA vis-a-vis the cash transfers during the elections by different parties.... About TN, I was chatting with my batchmate today. He holds the view that people in TN are also fed up with DMK's dynastic policies and Amma's tantrums. If COngress were to go alone in TN, and to shake up the grassroot organisation for few years-- like in UP-- Congress has a chance of forming the government in TN as well. Regards Atul Hi Girish

If COngress were to go alone in TN, and to shake up the grassroot organisation for few years– like in UP– Congress has a chance of forming the government in TN as well.

UP, Tamilnadu and West Bengal's voters give a new signal to the country. Congratulation for excellent analysis. Once again your perception (most close) has proven right.
