Hey GP
How's it going? Yeah, the whole thing is so damn fluid that you never know. However, I think the greatest threat to CA elections at the moment, and I am sure some will disagree , is not from the Maosist but the Terai-based forces who unlike the Maoist are not under any peace framework. With Mr Thakur who was the NCs main Madesi face leaving, the Congress is on shaky grounds in several areas of the Terai. The supreme irony of all this is that the NC traditionally relied on the Madesis breaking in their favor to offsett the Pahadis who have generally favored the UML in the Terai. Now the NC might find itself wooing the Pahade community in the Terai with a some sort of a national unity/integrity platform turning all previous political equations on their heads. The whole country is up for grabs if an election were to happen and the country might finally see that major re-alignment of forces that political pundits have talked about for so long. We sure live interesting times.
What do you think?
