Dear friend ... if was truly un-baised and did this as a speaker he should do it non partisan .. then why the reaosn that he did not wanted to vote with communal BJP ... is this the reson a non partisan person would give ...
If he truly belive he sould have said , that he truely belives in the deal ad hence support it ... atleast that would have showed his charater that he have to leave the company of 40 years of comrades to support the deal ... atleast many who oppose the deal(not on party lines) would have see some point in it.
He is not voting against the UPA because he did not want to vote along with communal BJP .. here no national interest .. no party with 50 years of association .... true he may belive and followed secular values and adhered to what he belived ,,,, But it cant not be said he was not partial .. he will go down as one of the speakers who was very partial and always oppose the opposition party ..... And to say he is above the party so he did not resign is just media spin with somnaths socialist friends in the media
