Just a simple arithmetic and some assumptions indicate that the UPA actually lost the trust vote. The 19 votes lead included 12 BJP/NDA et al members plus 10 abstentions, and deducting the 12 votes brings down the figure of 275 to 263 and opposition figure to 268. Amar Singh and group has openly said he connived with others to induce BJP/NDA members to vote for the UPA. What this indicates, is that in a corrupt system, corrupts carried the day. This is as far as the trust vote goes.
Now, will the UPA ever table the 123 Agreement in the parliament? I am not opposed to any NDeal which benefits the country as a whole, but the method which was used and is being used throws a lot of suspicion on the demeanours of the people involved. How soon will the power get generated, and who will be involved in producing this energy.

I think this is a very naive reader writing this analysis above. Who lose the vote? If MP's voted for UPA, it won. They are MP's 1st and parties later. They are supporting the N- Deal, only if UPA won (or bought) their trust. So pls do simple arithmetic with Panchvi Pass se tez guys.

Pehle paisa fir Bhagwan! Well, if the were MPs first, and party members later then, the whole outcome would have been different. It is not the N-Deal that got voted on but a Trust Vote. Just as it was said yesterday, UPA may have won the battle but lost the war. There will be a lot to be answered by those who cross-voted, and it has nothing to do with Panchvi Pass.
