50 minutes is too long a period for any P.M.to spend with the President of the country raising all possible doubts as to the course of action Manmohan proposes to take and the fall out thereof.Unless there is an impending urgent issue no P.M. spends so much time.Manmohan appears very keen in sticking on to his stand of going ahead with the deal and not budging an inch even on that.Though Congres is putting up a brave face & pleading that it could muster the required strength from parties like SP,60 (members of left party) is not a small number to be taken lightly.In the event of withdrawal of support by the left parties,the fall of the UPA govt appears almost imminent.The post 4th July days by which 'left' is reported to pull the carpet,appear to be crucial for the nation which may have to bear the brunt of a costly election process in terms of not only expenditure but also gearing up and deploying the needed man power.In any case,the coming days also appear to be testing days for the first time lady president of the country picked up by Sonia in view of the likely constitutional crisis arising out of uncertainties in the political weather sequel to the impending dissolution of Lok Sabha.The countrymen too are eagerly waiting to see as to how she handles.Stock market has already crashed due to the uncertainties in the political situation.Every one's eyes are on New Delhi & news items.Contacts,conflicts,cross talks,permutations,combinations-are rife in political circles.
