Congress knows fully well that it would not be able to pull on for long like this with numbers,the game of which is very tension some and presents volatile results.It wants to purchase some time-say of a few months at least after which it does not bother even if parliament is dissolved and fresh elections are called for before the scheduled time of 5 years for general elections in 2009.For the left over period of its otherwise eligible full term of 5 years,it wants to be the care taker govt so that all the advantages of using the govt machinery clandestinely at least,will accrue.It is a seasoned political party adept in all such manipulations & manoeuvrings.
