BJP and mayawati were planning to make alliance in UP that has made SP uncomfortable. Congress was not allowing SP to come close to power then SP reached to left and this plan was made by congress sp and left to keep mayabatti and BJP out of power. Under this plan left withdrew the support on nuclear issue and SP took U turn and provided support to UPA in return they got power and came into the center of attraction. They stole the show from BJP. Next step was left reached to Maya and immediately declared her PM candidate. She opened her money bag for NDA partners. This step was against Advani's bid for PM. They successfully created such atmosphere that everybody got involved in nuclear deal and forgotten about inflation & other failures of UPA government. Thats why Sonia has thanked & praised left for their support and in return Left said they are not against MMS but his policy. Adavani lost to Mayabatti as a key person of this no confidence motion. In coming general election congress has got sp as a partner in UP and left got BSP. BJP is left alone. After election just see congress SP and left will come together to form next government.

Advani is too insecure, so he has kept Modi in the background. Not allowed him to come into limelight...old man desperately wants to be PM

why bring Modi here? He's minding his own business in his state and that is the right thing to do. And the pseudo seculars would love to see another riot but that is not going to happen.
hat's politics, you might think. But a more serious allegation came from a communist leader, AB Bardhan, who suggested this week that the Congress party was trying to buy parliamentary votes for about three million pounds (six million dollars) each.
The accusation was angrily denied. It's a little rich, replied a Congress spokesman, coming from a party which has been financed from abroad for years. It's not about money, he said, it's about doing the right thing for the country.
Jail release
One thing is clear: every vote will count. And that's why six members of parliament have had to get special dispensation to attend the debate.
Why, many MPs seem to be calculating, support a government that could be doomed to defeat shortly afterwards?
Normally they're in jail, serving time for crimes ranging from extortion and kidnapping to murder.
The Indian constitution allows them out on bail to attend important parliamentary votes. But the sight of convicted murderers entering the parliamentary chamber won't be the most edifying of spectacles.
The most notorious of the six prisoners, Mohammad Shahabuddin, won his seat in Bihar at the last general election even though he was already in jail. His opponents say his political strength is based on fear
