With the Samajwadi party, whose 39 members will be crucial for the survival of the government, stepping in after the Left decided to withdraw support, the ruling coalition whose strength has been reduced to 230 is expected to be three short of the magic figure of 272.
UPA managers are claiming that as of now the Government could count on the support of at least 273 members in the Lok Sabha, which currently has 543 members. There are two vacancies.
The talk of unease among some MPs in Samajwadi in joining hands with the Congress has triggered speculation that the party may not have the backing of all the 39 MPs.
But SP leader Amar Singh claimed all the members will vote for the government.
RJD supremo Lalu Yadav claimed that the UPA has numbers on its side to win a confidence vote.
The ruling side is banking on three independents-- Thupstan Chhewang from Jammu and Kashmir, Harish Nagpal from Uttar Pradesh and Charenamei Mani from Manipur.
The three-member RLD is also being seen as a supporter of the ruling side with Ajit Singh having a meeting with Congress President Sonia Gandhi sometime back.
Congress is also hopeful that former prime minister H D Deve Gowda's JD-S which has three MPS may vote for the government.
The BSP supremo Mayawati is watching the situation very closely and party MPs say that she was holding intense consultations on the strategy ahead.
For her the securing of trust vote by the Government with SP support would mean rise in political sensex of the Samajwadi Party, her known detractors on the home turf.
Ministers are claiming that they are cautious about the tactics of Mayawati and also about reports of revolt in the ranks of the Samajwadi Party. The SP has debunked such reports.
With every single vote becoming important, the Congress is happy that the PDP having only one member is supporting it delinking it from the political problems in Jammu and Kashmir.
Congress is also counting on suspended SP MP Raj Babbar as also Beni Prasad Verma whose disqualification has been sought by the party as those, which would support the trust vote.
Also expelled JD(S) member M P Veerendra Kumar and A Narendra who has been expelled by the TRS are being seen by the ruling side as their potential supporters.
Unruffled by the Left decision to withdraw support to it, Government voiced confidence about securing the trust vote in the Lok Sabha despite the ‘designs’ of the BJP.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Vayalar Ravi also told the Left parties that they should realise the ‘political implications’ of voting together with the BJP.
Ravi was among the senior leaders who held parleys with Congress President Sonia Gandhi soon after the Left announcement.
The Parliamentary Affairs Minister contended that even in the opposition NDA, no party, including the BJP, was opposed to the nuclear deal.
Congratulations to Manmohan Singhji for standing upto the chinese spies and traitors, namely the Prakash Karat and company. Babubhai, This is what Vajpaiji tried for years begging and could not accomplish and Manmohanji did it. BJP could not do it. The communists and democrats in USA like congressman Ed Markey from Boston tried to sabotage it without success, thanks to the lobbying by the strong Indian community in USA including Indian busnessmen and Indian Doctors. A credit for all patriotic Indians to achieve the self reliance on India's increasing energy needs. Jai Hind!
ALONG WITH,AND UNDER THE PRETEXT OF,,THE GOOD N. DEAL,,,,,THIS IS THE IDEAL TIME GAP FOR SONIAJI, TO ACCOMMODATE AS MANY KINKY DEALS AS POSSIBLE.....CPM/CPI ARE OUT,,,SP IS NOT IN YET,,,, BJP IS IN "COMA"/CHINTAN,,,,,AND THESE FEW DAYS ARE BEFORE THE POSSIBILITY, OF BEING THROWN OUT....LET US DO SOME BOFORS TYPE KATKI DEALS,AFTER THAT EVEN IF UPA IS DEAD,THE CREAM WOULD BE THERE TO JUST,SLURP AWAY !!!!!BESIDES, PRATIBHA WILL DO A GOOD JOB OF RIGGING ELECTIONS ANY WAY,,,,,THAT'S WHY SHE IS ORDERED TO TAKE PRESIDENTIAL SEAT IS N'T IT ????
In a way, what is happening, is very good. The voters, unconcernred till now, will be carefull in next elections. Also, voters will see that all the butter thrown at the poor and deprived is all plastic. The voters, now, can see who is in Parliament to keep India servient to China, who is in Parliament because they were born to rule and those who actually want to take India forward. But every one will interprit every thing in their own way because Indian media is horribly biased and people do not get the actual picture, so, general public is confused and make wrong decisions. India would be a far better country if our media was even ten percent neutral. Illitrate public go for chrisma, like, white skin or Laloos monkey jumps or Advani's once in five year yell for temple. Muslims can never vote for country, they are in India because life is far better in India then in Pakistan or BD and almost all parties, including BJP, dance to their tune. So, in final analysis, history will repeat.
