The analysis of cross-voting indicated that 6 SP MPs switched to BSP and 1 Congress MPs switched over to the BJP.
These cross-voting started 10 days ago with Mayawati and BJP parading their defectors. BJP tried poaching more Congress MPs like Jalappa, whose son is already a BJP MLA in Karnataka. Congress was supposed to lose as many as 4 MPs to the BJP and the SP was being targeted by UNPA for a vertical split. Meanwhile Mayawati-Karat poached JDS and RLD who together had another 6 MPS from the UPA. These defectors were also paraded in news channels.
The best form of defense was offense and the UPA-SP retaliated in kind to not only stem the tide but to put both the UNPA and NDA on the defensive.
So Mayawati, Karat and Advani maybe crying crocidile tears now. They have been beaten in their own game. Losers
Yes everyone should be upset of corruption. So why not you ask BJP's CM in Karnataka to quit too. He bought 12 MLAs (Independents & Opposition parties) made 9 Ministers in addition to crores of rupees financed by the Bellary mining mafia who has another 4 cabinet berths

I can understand that the congie goons can stoop to any level to sell India in the name of Nuke-deal. Atleast Karnataka BJP has got just short of 2 to required majority, whereas Cong has got only 1/2 of what is required. Jalappa left Congress because there is no future for congress in Karnataka. He is like a switching frog. But it is open that Congress paid 25 crores to cross-vote and 3 crores to abstain from voting. This was caught by a TV channel. Can you substantiate your charges on opposition?
Lets not waste our time in dirty politics. Lets discuss and decide the 123 deal - the nuke deal. Please concentrate here. Don't get diverted to politics.
We all know that this deal has assuages the energy energy crisis. Highlighting the darker side of the deal, Do we all all know how much energy is generated? Will this serve our increasing demand of energy? What is the cost involved? Where do the nuclear waste go? What are the disadvantages of using nuclear energy. Other questions we need to answer internationally are: 1. What the international laws being governed? 2. What are the problems being faced by other nations that have signed this treaty? 3. What are the solutions we have to have ready in hand before we take good decision?
Lets talk about these questions. This a deal which shook governments. There must be something that made LEFT uneasy to quit support. Lets talk these items
The holding of cash by the BJP members in the Parliament is a big drama. They understood that UPA is going to get thru the motion and have done such dastardly thing only to take the attention away from the UPA's victory. When there are so many smaller parties with either two or three members, it would be ridiculous to imagine UPA going to BJP's members for support. And the most disgusting thing in this entire episode is Advani's statement that he himself allowed his MPs' to bring cash inside the Parliament. AS a senior member of the party he should have restrained his MP's from such an act because the proceedings of the house are being aired live on TV and he did not even give a second thought to what impression the world would have on our democracy. This shows how hungry he and his members are for publicity and they can go to any lenghts to be in the news all over the media. This incident is as vulgar as third rate exposing by heroins in films.

Now BJP don't have any think to say, so what they will do. The same thing what they did in parliament. Though every one is hungry for the power, but one has to understand the crytical situation in India. In case of election, not only inflation will be affected but also the situation will get more critical.

Well Said!! Being the most senior person, he should have instructed his party members to hand them over to Speaker. This act has brought national shame. Most prestigious parliaments image was soiled internally and externally. BTW, BJP failed to protect the parliament from terrorists. Now, they failed to protect the image of parliament.

Why it should be handed over to the speaker...so that, speaker would have called PM and asked him, respected PM, opposition is blaming you for so and so reason... and PM with all respect would have accepted the alligation and said, .... ok... i will resign..... stupid. since it was tabled in parliament, atleast whole india is now discussing. otherwise, it would have been dumped in some corner of parliament and nobody would have known it. and CBI would have helped PM in doing that.

BJP atleast caught those terrorists and jailed. But your ugly congie morons are saving him from death penalty in the name of Secularism. After all you are progeny of Nehru who proclaimed in the parliament that he doesn't care about the land we lost in war with china because it's barren land covered with snow.

fuc...ing in side is no problem, if it comes out only problem... you shold know the truth..........
In the speech he mentioned of Kalawati. Today there is a article in times of India about the same lady. go read it. Neither BJP or Congress or anybody else will help you along with nuclear deal but do help people instead of doing stupid introspections.
Also with nuclear fuel costing Rs.9/- by the time it comes to your house it will be Rs. 20/- including transmission fees & Babus salary. Think how will you get this electricity for yourself. Believe me lot of Indians cannot. Only few will be able. Think & thanks.
Mr. Udhav Thakare says that though Congress has won the vote of confidence but we will try in election. History says as of now they don't have nore than 20 ministers with them. Then on what basis (ground) they are challanging the congress. On top of that, from last many decades they in Maharashtra, one simple question to them and their party, what great thing they done for the nation, maharashtra or poor people? Can they answer to this question. Yes they have made money out of it.
MPs right to cast their Vote should be changed and instead the their respctive Political Parties should vote. So that the back stabing, Poaching and Horse trading can be avoided in future and thus let us save our great democracy.
For Eg. If BJP has 140 Elected MPs in the Parliament and if any such No- Confidence motion comes up the party dicision making body should debate on the subject and decide with majority opinion to whom should they vote. The party should cast the 140 votes on behalf of the members and in no case allow their electected representatives to cast their Votes. In this case, no MPs can change their stand and all will be under the control of their MOTHER PARTY. In brief, no MPs will be above the Party. Moreover, the representatives are elected through their Mother Party symbols and their manifestos. Hence, why they require individual freedom to cast their Vote. Instead the Party should cast the entire Vote collectively against or in favour of the motion. They should be given freedom to work for their Party and serve the people.
This amendment should be done with immediate effect for avoiding these kind of back stabing.
