The motion of confidence in the Lok Sabha did not make a mention of the Nuclear Deal. The UPA Govt should have put the Nuclear Deal for vote. Does this bogus referendum mean that now the UPA Govt can do what it likes? The motion of confidence doesn't remove the fact that it is still a minority govt. Ideally, the Govt can only continue in Power in a lame duck non performing manner for the remaining part of their tenure. A minority Govt can only do that since its action would always be blocked on every initiative which includes reforms. People should not read too much into this confidence vote. The only gainer is JMM which can enrich its own coffers for fighting the next election. The SP has turned out to be a completely opportunistic organistion that can be lured by lucre to side with any programme for its votes. Its main bisiness being to make money for its MPs The victory is sham. One would have expected better statesmanship from MMS rather than to descend to this level of associating with the SP and what it stands for - a single narrow agenda of making money.
