i would like to ask the writer what exactly he thinks? should the govt win today or not in favour of nuclear deal? if you think nuke deal is bad thy shuldnt win( you have a rite to say " cunning politician"). But if you think it is a good deal then they must win this vote of confidence. It is not important that how they achieve it!!! While forming this UPA government Dr. MMS never begged any politician to join UPA. Dr. MMS never begged to elect him as PM in the congress meeting. Infact it was someone else in the fray, and Dr. MMS was a surprise choice!! And ofcourse now he is joining hands with SP to save the nuke deal but certainly not asking to rule this country for few more years!! If Dr. MMS did anything in this country it is all about economic reforms, about the growth.. Lot of people criticised his ideas when he became FM first time . Now we can see our forex reserves, economic growth. He had a clear vision. If anyone feels "he is cunning ", it is in favour of nuke deal but not to increase his bank balance
