PM is confident - Face trust vote
by jamsheed abumohammed on Jul 08, 2008 04:42 PM

Unmoved and unfazed by the Left decision to withdraw support,PM and Congress are confident that it would not immediately affect the ministry.All these talks are tall talks and are only face saving one. The reality is they cannot boast of support from others when they were all along enjoying Left's support. The other fact is morally they are bound to accept defeat and tender resignation. The number may support the ministry in view of the support expressed by SP and others,but how long this life support system will help the Govt. These parties may demand more concessions from the PM and it would be unpalatable to him to concede to their demands,especially the removal of Chidambaram and Deora from the Ministry as demanded by SP. This is the danger of living on the support of such parties who were staunch enemies till the other day. This marriage of convenience would not last long. If Congress feels that it would like to delay the inevitable and turn the table against the BJP and Communists, it can survive this trust vote. This is not advisable as more and more problems would wreck the Govt as they failed to curb price rise and inflation which are the main subjects of the opposition. If anything tangible is done on this front, then there is a possibility of Congress gaining some advantage in the next elections with BJP trailing behind unable to counter this.Congress and other allies must be united to face the reality in the next few days and prepare to come out of it successfully
