It is quite premature for BJP to ask Dr Singh to prove the strength before the left effectively withdrew their sport.It shows how over enthusiastic BJP is for fall of the Govt.Well!!It is an understandable desire for any opposition with prospects of victory to grab the power at the earlist,but it is too much for any party to behave so and expose their power mongerism.Congree is right when it counter queries as to where is the question of proving its strength when,none,so far,has withdrawn its support.One thing is very cetatin!Congress cannot also rely on the support of Samajwad Paty for a long tome since it is not that strong a bondage that arose out of mutual respect for the other,but only a political expediency which could wither away any time.Any way,by the support of Samajwadi Party,Congress is going to get a fresh lease of life-say at least for 2/3 months after which,even if Samajwadi party too withdraws its support,it can continue as care taker govt till the next elections are held & a new govt is formed.As is the case with any govt in power,Congress too wants to reap all the benefits (including use of govt machinery),accruing out of of continuance in the power till the last day. What is the point in left parties's apprising Jyothi Basu,the communist patriarch,of their move when the latter vented his mind very recently with a categorical expression that socialism cannot work.Strifed with all these cheap politics & inflation like crisis,country is in a bad shape now.
