Bjp thinking that parliment election would be combined with state assembly elections during oct 2008 in BJP ruled states like M P, rajasthan chattishgar,congress ruled state delhi ect announced unofficialy by selecting candidates for 150 constituencies which half of them are new faces.this erritated old faces who will lose their seats decided to make quick money and went in favour of UPA.ofcourse we can not deny that Bjp itself might have stagebacked drama to make some MPs to abstain from voting to prevent mayawati talking a lightlight picture for P M POST and also Bjp do not want to give impression to middleclass educated people that they are opposed to nuclear deal (brainchild of NDA)and also they thought this is not right time as MMS will get sympathy votes on non-issue matter as BJP wants to defeat upa only on inflation reason so BJP and congress are gainers in this while mayawathi,communists,naidu are losers in the game.bjp has better edge becouse they showed to television viewers the money bribed to their MPs by congress/sp leaders which left a bad image to UPA govt.
