Disgrace on democracy (09-07-08)

The Left’s withdrawal of support from the current UPA government, regarding the contentious Indo-US nuclear deal, has brought to the fore a novel saga of horse-trading. It is true that the Left withdrawal along with its valuable 59 MPs puts the government in a extremely unsatisfactory situation and, if it has to proceed any further with the deal, it has to face the floor test or win over the no-confidence motion set to surface in the coming days. The sudden, though expected, development has brought back the managers of Congress to the limelight who have already become busy to garner the necessary number to prove its credentials in the parliament and also before the nation.

It has been learnt that the government is steadfast to seek a vote of confidence in the Lok Sabha, possibly on July 21 or 22, and then move toward the International Atomic Energy Agency’s board in Vienna with a safeguards agreement. But the situation is not so bright as once it was supposed. Though the support of the Samajwadi Party is exemplary for the UPA but to the pertinent sources it is also facing a revolt of its loyal MPs that is quite enough to leave the UPA short of eight to 10 MPs. For this reason much is depending on the consideration of the fence sitter MPs numbering to 64. If the Congress becomes able to convince even some of them the present crisis can be managed.

The situation is so frustrating for Congress that it has to depend on the lone PDP MP Mehbooba Mufti, although the two parties have already suffered a rift in Kashmir.

The state of affairs has even made the pundits skeptical of the survival of the UPA government since it is still short of the magic number of 272.
