Description

Byline: S. Murari A politically incorrect, maybe sexist comment, is no two women and no two watches agree. The recently concluded elections in five States of India have thrown up three women who may shape a political realignment: Congress president and United Progressive Alliance Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, whose coalition is heading the federal government, maverick Trinamool Congress Chief Mamata Banerjee, who has stormed the last bastion of the communists in West Bengal, and an equally imperious leader of a powerful regional party from Tamil Nadu, J. Jayalalitha, who has trounced the ruling party in the State, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, winning 203 of the 234 Assembly seats. In West Bengal, the TMC has won 184 out of 294 and its junior partner Congress has picked another 42. The Marxist-led left front has lost power after ruling continuously since 1971 and ended with a meager tall of 62.
