The only lesson we, the people of India can teach the current betrayers of their parties and their constituencies is to defeat them if they contest next election, socially boycott their kith and kin, and ferret out all the loots they had from the public by forcing drastic action by the future government. The MPs who were not loyal to their parties can't be trusted to be loyal to their electorate and to the country. We shall build a mass movement to filter out the poison from the new Parliament.

D. Goel . PKL. Afternoon, 540opm, Thursday, Aug. 7, 2008. I shall wish that Sri TVR Chenoyji had power to convince the votaries of constitutional proprieties as enshrined in rules of procedure and general bonafides of parliamentary practices in mature democracies , any where, that the current disgraceful spectacle of horse-trading as practised on July 22, trust Vote for UPA under Singh and Soniaji should lead to dissolution of this August Lok-Sabha , that in practice has proved itself to be unworthy of any esteem of any sane and honest person. Let us see if majority of India's Voters do exercise their strong condemnation of such turn-coats in all the different Parties that are predatory of each other's lambs and Kine. I am aware ,however , that at the hustings another set of blasphemies in the name of castes pelf and threats of bahuballies have their play, and the sequel is none too rosy for that , the next bunch of Lok Sabhities shall be any of higher calibre either intellectually or morally uptight ram rod-incorruptible. No! Democracy can only have governance that which its lowest and meanest fellow would stoop to . D. Goel
Mr Chinoy those of us who may perhaps have some ethics left should not even talk about the PM weilding anything but a butter knife for the US and for the super lady Lets forget it Correct proccesses are not a part of this country s political life anymore And we are also as wimpish as he is because when all this drama was taking place we as a nation did not have the guts to say enough and demand the fall of the minority Govt This was and is our right truly speaking
A study is needed that in case there was no cross voting and no abstention at all.whether Govt. could have won or lost.Some on should conduct study and publish in news papers.
Your knowledge that all parties except Congress are corrupt, shows how much you know about India, its history, culture and much-needed social understanding of issues. I may tell you if any party is the mother of corrupt parties, it's Congress only-- from the Nehru era right upto the Manmohan's helplessness.
Let me know how many new goverment hospitals were built in India.The politicians and people of India have forgotten the meaningof democracy.The politicians have become modern day Kings and their constituency a princely state.Politics Films and cricket should be banned in India for a few years.

It seems you are repeating HIS MASTER'S (BJP's) VOICE. Pl get out of India and visit countries like Iran, Pakistan and countries of south east Asia and far east and meet people from business community. They are either scared of India because of its growing economic might and those who do not intend to compete with India, are full of praise both for its growth and its democracy - particularly freedom of speach. So please do not believe everything that your MASTER tells you.
