I feel the congress is expediting the whole issue and the cpm has withdrawn the support and brought the govt to the brink of falling is simply an eye wash. the cpm is following the policy of Bamboo hatao lakdi lagao.The leftthemseleves has brokered the deal between congress and samajwadi party. after the govt. sails through the nuclear issue the left will again start supporting the congress because they were only aginst the nuclear agreement and they can do any thing to keep the comunal forces away from the power. At the moment they have succeded in drawing the peoples attention away from the growing prices/rentals etc.as the only thing in the media is the vote of confidence.Why didn't the left withdraw the support on the issue of skyrocketing prices insteed of nuclear issue is the question they should answer. they didn't do this because if they would have withdrawn support against the rising prices then samajwadi party or no other party (thinking of the coming election) would have supported the congress and the govt. would have collapsed.
