Tiger man,what do you take the congress for,a bunch of lambs to be swallowed by the tigers etc in the smaller parties.No way.If the UPA wins the trust vote,they will recommend dissolution of the parliament.This way, they can avoid fulfilling whatever promises they might have made to the 'horses' post trust vote.What will be the gain for UPA?Well,the nuclear deal will get legitimacy;the safeguards pact will become legal.(believe,that during july18-22, our foreign secretary will have completed all formalities from our side).No future govt will be allowed to walk out of the safeguards pact.In essence our strategic options are foreclosed, in perpetuity.Is this not to be expected, when the top leaders of the congress party, repeatedly asserted that the nuke deal is more important than the government? The UPA will then approach the electorate with the catchy slogan:hom log kahaten hain,"bijili lao, andheri hatao", lekin wo log kahaten hain "sonia hatao".The congress may hope to ride to power on such a slogan.The 'horses' who offerred themselves for purchase, may be in for a shock.
