Probably they got paid more than what they could earn running the government. Plus they can also portrait Soniya Gandhi as Devi of Sacrifice and win the next elections with a huge margins. Left is in more trouble as their problems in Nandigram/Singur is still not over they too want to show a moderate image to the investors overseas. The congress is doing right by testing their courage. But Madame beware as sometimes left can really prove their might as no one can touch them in West Bengal so they have thei own safe Heaven. Agar Sarkar Gir gayi Aur NDA jeet gayi toh problem mein aa jaooge. Aur IS BAR AAM ADMI BHI SATH NAHI hoga!!! Think towice before provoking LEFT. Chalne do jaise chal raha hai, Bush Govt Change hogayi to deal phir se negotiate karni padega tab tak kafi waqt milega, Aur Mannu bhai ke 5 saal bhi poore honge.
