Why are we even talking about deal
by Indian Indian on Jul 08, 2008 07:22 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Everything is going in the right direction for the congress as per plan. The govt. will fall soon. The deal will not be gigned(Sardaar has no Intention to get it signed). The media blitz and all the hue and cry over the Nuke deal was to put cover over the 4 year of dark ages of this govt. This govt. was a total failure and every MP was worried how are we going to go back to over voters in 2009. The deal is a face saver for this non-performing govt. It will fall soon, but as most of the people on this forum thinks 1000s of Indian voters will think 'Sardaar sacrificed his govt.' and he will also join Maino Antonia as a great Martyr...

Exactly right.

Congress can't win election anymore whether it's central or state. It's a clear gameplan to divert People of India to a sensitive issue. Nothing more than that. After latest Karnataka and other state elections they're sure they can't win, and hence saying now they'll go for the deal. If they win the Trust vote they'll get appeal to the People that they got something big for them, even if they loose also, they'll say, for India's prosparity, they sacrificed the Govt. and say BJP & Left had pulled down tahem.

Even if the government falls, there is no respite to you knickerwallahs.

1. In whole of South India, BJP will find it difficult to open its account. This despite BJP forming the government in Karnataka last month. A Congress-JDS tieup gives them 55% vote share, adequate to ensure a complete white wash for the BJP who would lose their 18 seats. The DMK alliance sits pretty and AIADMK will certainly not enter into a pre-poll pact with the BJP. Chandra Babu Nadu will do the same, tying up with the Left. In Kerala, the BJP is a non-player.

2. BSP cannot likewise enter into a pre-poll pact with BJP because to protect its Muslim votes. So the BJP is destined to third place at best - losing 15 seats it currently holds.

3. In MP, Orissa, Chattisgarh and Rajasthan, the BJP governments faces huge anti-incumbency. Accordingly expected to lose significant seats it currently holds.

This is only a short list. So except for small states like Delhi, Haryana etc, there is no space for the BJP to makeup its loses, leave alone forge ahead from its current tally.

The Left is in a similar predicament. It is poised to get completely white washed in Kerala (where it now holds 20 seats). In West Bengal it is expected that TMC-Congress tieup will make a huge dent.

So except for their public posturing, both BJP or Left do not want immediate elections
