It is surprising that the Left parties had not anticipated the turn around by the SP, knowing fully well they are the most unscrupulous people in politics and congress will take advantage of that! Fear of BJP coming to power made the left vacillate on the subject of withdrawal which gave enough time for SP and Congress to play the dirty game. Shame on the PM to stoop to such a level just to please President Bush. Transparency as requested by the left would have avoided all this. Don't understand why Congress were so secretive and can't understand how the Left became so dumb.
