This writer has already predicted that UPA will win hands down. It came true today as UPA won the trust vote with a record margin 275 for and 256 against. It was indeed a slap on the face of the opposition combine. It all began yesterday and the lack lusture speech by Advani revealed the mood of the opposition. They tried a drama in the Parliament today but it did not have any effect on the voting pattern. With this win, the secular forces would consolidate. The PM is no free to go ahead with all the welfare programmes for the people including the signing of the Nuke deal. There are miles ahead to achieve and road blocks should not deter this Govt. Dr.Manmohan Singh has matured into a politician when he flshed the "V" sign to the waiting media outside the Parliament House. All the UPA and allies members and others who supported the motion all congradulated the PM and Soniaji for their monumental effort in garnering the votes in favour of the UPA. More important was the way the PM brushed aside the Left threat and gave a green signal for the treaty. This was the redeeming factor. The coalition dharma does not mean slavery bonded or otherwise. Govt should be allowed a free hand to implement all those promises that were made to the public. What UPA did achieve in four years, NDA did not achieve even 50% of it in its 65 years rule. All credit go to the PM for his clean slate image and tact with which he handled all subjects satisfying all sections of the people.Congrads again.
