The Left need to ponder where they will be, after the trust vote. If UPA wins the trust vote, there will be egg on the face of the entire Left and the nuclear deal will go through. If, on the other hand, UPA fails and the Govt. falls, it will lead to immediate general elections, after which the BJP is likely to form the next Govt., (and the Left will be left with only one-fourth or one-fifth of MPs that they have now). Is that the Left want? We are told that their purpose in supporting the UPA was to keep the communal BJP from power. It is not all. The BJP Govt. was more friendly with the U.S. than the UPA Govt. and what will prevent them from completing the nuclear deal? So in any case, the Left is indirectly helping the BJP and also letting the nuclear deal to be done with, with nothing to gain for itself. Then, what is the meaning of this drama? The Left is playing to its vote bank in W.B., Kerala & Tripura to try to keep their vote bank intact, or to reduce the damage as much as possible. By pulling down the Govt., they think they can save their face in front of their followers in these States and try to maintain their power/tally of seats. But they forget the people are watching all these events, and they have their own idea about the deal, inflation etc. Mere propaganda alone will not save the Left this time. This could well be the beginning of the end of Communism in India!

I think Mr Manmahon Singh has slew of support among the young in India and if they come out in droves and vote for the congress, I dont see LK Advani's dream being fulfilled.

There is no reason why youth will support Manmohan Singh? It it because he was FM or is it he is nominated PM who is equally ineffective. People will remember - him effective FM - people will be eager to forget him as PM; at the end of the day People want development, better pay at less cost - and NDA or BJP will bring that - whether it will be liked by some pseudo secularist or not. It is better alternative; think about where we are now - and where we were 4.5 yrs ago....industry growth plunged by 4% already.....

even now there opposition to Ndeal is becuase we supposedly got better deal than chinese. and their masters in china told them to oppose it. Ndeal may or may not be good for india. but left shud have withdrawn support on glaring failures of govt like inflation, failure to implement socio-economic programes such as education, removal of poverty, failure to take momentum of infrastructure strted by NDA govt. filure in food security, power shortage etc etc andnot on N-Deal
