The Prime Minister appears to be a great visionary. While he has no numbers in Parliament as of now and his colleagues are licking everybody's feet for support, MMS says he is going to sign the IAEA agreement and that to after the confidence motion. After confidence motion who knows who will be in power? In case he continues in power he can always buy time. In case he is not in power, he can take that excuse.

Don't be too sure that he has no numbers. A clue to the numbers is to see where smaller parties are gravitating to.
So you see the SP, JDS, NC, ILD, MDMK, TMC etc all gravitating to the Congress.
Left is left with only TDP.
NDA has seen not only desertions (TMC, ILD, NC, MDMK etc) but allies expressing ambivalent sand like Shiv Sena and Akali Dal who are most likely to abstain
The direction where parties gravitate indicate where people's support lies.
