LA(O)ST OPPORTUNITY

The current political heat has reached to such a point that whatever be the results would be, no major party Congress, BJP or even the Lefts stands to gain.
Anyone would easily agree that at this time no party has any issue to bank upon, though Congress has some negative sentiments due to inflation.
This was the most opportune time for both BJP and Congress to stand Tall before the nation. Congress stands to loose the image if it wins the trust motion because of horse-trading in full swing. Mind you its worst to get a bad name than to be bad. It could have easily gone ahead without compromising the tall image what Mrs Gandhi and Mr Singh were able to erect in last five years and let it have its own fate and tell nation the real sacrifice. If PM is so confident of nation?s image, he can easily wait as Obama has also given his party's consent over the deal.
BJP on the other hand could have walked out saying that they support the deal as they were the ones who initiated INDIA SHINING and the deal but since in opposition and no matter whatsoever comes can enter into any alliance with LEFT they simply walk out. They can easily become hero of the nation and re-establish their NATIONALIST image. They can also take away the credit what the PM considers so important to sacrifice the Government. It is the real time to tell the nation that National Interest is far supreme than the petty politics and take the nation to its stride. The elections are anyway due in next 12 months
