Unmindful of her own murky track record, Uttar pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati has been working overtime to deny campaign space to her rivals



But Mayawati was in no mood to relent. And three days later a report by her principal secretary, Net Ram, introduced a technical snag, saying the 189.25 hectares of factory land had been allotted without the state's consent and would have to be returned till such consent was granted. Quite forgetting that the factory's foundation had been laid in February last year, Mayawati accused the Congress of "dirty politics" and asked: "Why has the party woken up so late?"

This had Sonia Gandhi demanding a Rs 5,000 crore-package for the industrial revival of Rae Bareli and Sultanpur. But it is pretty much certain that like the Rs 80,000 crore Sonia had earlier sought for Bundelkhand and Purvanchal, this one too would be passed over.

Commented Sri Prakash Jaiswal, Minister of State for Home: "This is politics at its most vicious. We have seen nothing like this before." And the developments led Girish Pandey, the BJP nominee who fought the 2004 election against Sonia Gandhi, to describe the whole thing as "a big joke directed at the people of Rae Bareli."

So what exactly is Behenji's trip? The same old one of course: That she alone is concerned about how Uttar Pradesh fares – the Gandhi bastions included – and also the only person competent to see the projects through. And to make sure she was heard and believed by all in the state, she made it a point to bring up the Congress agitation last August to protest the grant of 400 acres in and around her parental village of Badalpur on the UP-Delhi border for setting up of a recreation centre and a green belt. Yes, all know that in a pre-election year Mayawati is loath to have the Congress score any political points.

Behenji's second swipe was aimed at Amethi MP Rahul Gandhi, soon after the Chandrashekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology in Kanpur invited him over. When the young Gandhi arrived on October 24 it was only to find the auditorium closed. Apparently, Maya's men had succeeded in persuading the vice-chancellor, V.K. Suri, to ensure Gandhi stayed away -- a charge the government hotly denies. But Maya's critics insist that the V-C had been pressured to scrap the function. The specious line the government took was that the few students who had not gone home for Diwali had no interest in meeting Rahul.
