RahulVai, how do u come to conclusion that Maoist are gonna loose the election? Just your analysis from US? Interesting..... Well reason 'I Believe' that Yadav resigned is that his homebase in Terai is in lots of turmoil. He has been loosing ground in Terai within his party, these Jwala singhs and Goits were no one infront of him earlier. But they have started killing everyone so to get everything under control he could not provide time. Above all he was so tied up and frustrated with way things were going in KTM. All these party Politics and Sandalwood smuggling, Sujata's issues. Now since he could put a halt to the sandalwood route, now its time just to clash with congress, which has not been very productive. So Instead he would obviously choose to focus on his stronghold, which is Terai. Maoist are loosing ground in Terai, Yadav was one of the prominent figures in the Terai support for Maoists. So he realized he would be needed in Terai rather than baffle in the Capital. Yadav is one of the strong Cards of Maoists in Terai so they might as well play him where he is needed the most. The Goit and Jwalla guys have created so much terror that if Yadav could solve them or shoot them, maoists will become heroes in Terai. Maoists know that so they are gonna send him back to Terai to solve the issue. Maoists are gonna capitalize on this. My 2 cents. You can throw a dime
