in all, there were more than 25 members proved to be cross voted against their repective party whips...there were may abstained...if we take the people cross voted and abstained, the UPA definitely lost the game... but, the cross voting and abstaintion helped the common man of india from facing general election early by one year when the inflation is so high already.
UPA LOST THE CONFIDENCE...BUT NUCLEAR DEAL WON THE VOTING. and in the next general election, UPA would definitely wiped out.
