The analysis of cross-voting indicated that 6 SP MPs switched to BSP and 1 Congress MPs switched over to the BJP.
These cross-voting started 10 days ago with Mayawati and BJP parading their defectors. BJP tried poaching more Congress MPs like Jalappa, whose son is already a BJP MLA in Karnataka. Congress was supposed to lose as many as 4 MPs to the BJP and the SP was being targeted by UNPA for a vertical split. Meanwhile Mayawati-Karat poached JDS and RLD who together had another 6 MPS from the UPA. These defectors were also paraded in news channels.
The best form of defense was offense and the UPA-SP retaliated in kind to not only stem the tide but to put both the UNPA and NDA on the defensive.
So Mayawati, Karat and Advani maybe crying crocidile tears now. They have been beaten in their own game. Losers
Yes everyone should be upset of corruption. So why not you ask BJP's CM in Karnataka to quit too. He bought 12 MLAs (Independents & Opposition parties) made 9 Ministers in addition to crores of rupees financed by the Bellary mining mafia who has another 4 cabinet berths

I can understand that the congie goons can stoop to any level to sell India in the name of Nuke-deal. Atleast Karnataka BJP has got just short of 2 to required majority, whereas Cong has got only 1/2 of what is required. Jalappa left Congress because there is no future for congress in Karnataka. He is like a switching frog. But it is open that Congress paid 25 crores to cross-vote and 3 crores to abstain from voting. This was caught by a TV channel. Can you substantiate your charges on opposition?
