The real winner of the two days special parliament session convened for seeking the vote of confidence of the house on the Prime minister & the Council of Ministers, on July 21st & 22nd, is Mr. Somnath Chatterjee, the Hon. Speaker of the House. A bouquet of Roses to him....

In what could be a Historic day in the indian politics, especially for Manmohan Singh, who have been till late been accused of a puppet in the Hands of Sonia Gandhi. It will be a day Mr Singh will remember all throught his life if he manages to sneak through...

The way things are going in Parliament it is very difficult to say which side will win and which loose. This is really the murder of democracy by our parliament members. People in India are more concerned about other issues not nuclear deal. God save the people of this country...

With all the news doing rounds of heavy poaching going on, MPs being bot and lured, the UPA specially the Cong in its zeal to save the govt. at any cost has stoop to such lower levels even though they have only six more months to go. It seems these...

I say energy security is a more crucial matter than inflation...bcoz inflation will be curbed in 4-5 months(based on laws of economics), but energy deficiency will continue to haunt us for decades to come....one small mistake at this time will lead to a historic blunder...the entire world is watching us...

Could Indian polity head further Southwards ? Or do we car at all anymore ???The disgust has quite literally become cynicism now ! It could surely have found interest in the media and political circle. But, surely, for an average Indian, this is just didn't come as a surprise.Everyone knows...

When WE was young, WE learnt that whatever the Circumstance, We should do the RIGHT Thing. Whenever faced with a decision, use your common sense. Having a HOLISTIC view of things around helps us make the right decision and things fit into correctly if the RIGHT Thing was done.Today as...

Since morning after the debate resumed i wondered how the opposition was going to deal the loss if they lost the trust vote.They were deviating from the critical topic of Nuclear deal and were busy doing personal allegations against rest of the govt. But i was not surprised at the...

Every time our leaders bring down d democratic system to a new low ... every time d politicians yield to money and power .. i ask my self .. are we there yet ..... have we atlast hit d bottom. But then again reality hits me in d face and...

upa will win and nuclear deal will come in force which will help india.......manmohan is a goos knwledgable PM india ever seen.....all indian mind that america is not a bad country to deal with where all indian national are treated equaly to others...not like any other country where the same...

I feel Indian democracy has lost again in this battle of UPA and NDA.This fight has shown the ugly picture of hoarse trading , opportunistic politics.Its really a shame for us that our MP's have price tag associated with them and ideology is not the concern but money decides thier...

Yes of course the Govt will survive the motion but not the coalition pulls and pressures. Its good that there is a lot of debate there in the house on the most important issue that can affect the country for a lot more time to come. Changing power equations world...

Certainly Yes, First, Yesterday I was watching the debate in Lok Sabha and it is very sad to see that the member of parliament were debating (particularly in opposition Left and BJP) in very irresponsible manner. None of the single member raised the objectionable issues in the agreement. Either they...

Today is the day for the crucial trust vote. Will the UPA survive? Signs show it might but whether it survives or not is really not what i'm really concerned. What i'm worried about is, will the country survive? Jailbirds making to parliament and creating a scene there, convicted MP's...

MPs were crying their lungs out over godhra riots and babri demolition in there speeches, but their explaination to Amarnath issue was somehow Jammu bandh!!What a mind numbing display of hypocrasy!! What a high pitched attempt to prove their "secular" credentials!!I was also saddened to hear your analysis of L.K.advani's...

Yes. That is the most logical strategy under the circumstances. They may go thru' the motions of voting the govt out but will condone anyone supporting the confidence vote. Apart from earning the goodwill of many who'd like to see NDA back in power, this will be a slap to...

We hear during the later partof the day that the UPA govt is approaching the Supreme court to let the Sethu project go ahead without referring it to the ASI. One wonders what is the sudden hurry to do this in the midstof the Nuke deal debate. Judging from the...

The extent to which the politics can make strange bed fellows is evident in a RSS mouth piece eulogizing CPM Secretary Karat for opposing the deal. The politicians carry on with least scruples and have scant respect for people's memory power. The same BJP was hobnobbing for the nuclear deal...

Thru'out the discussion why nobody is highlighting the honesty integrity of the PM.Why are we just trying to send amessage to our children that only dishonesty survives iv indian politics. ...

I salute the views of Dr Abdul Kalam. If he has some soft corner that will be to the party who had made him the Indian President. He should have been the first person to speak against the nuclear deal which the UPA Govt has brought who also had opposed...

The UPA might well win the trust vote this evening and rejoice into ecstasy. However, it is a known fact that patients on artificial respirators, do not survive long. The condition of UPA is therefore critical and like a patient in the ICU, as Mr. Advani pointed out.But, UPA would...

I feel Indian democracy has lost again in this battle of UPA and NDA.This fight has shown the ugly picture of hoarse trading , opportunistic politics.Its really a shame for us that our MP's have price tag associated with them and ideology is not the concern but money decides thier...

I was hearing the Rahul's speech.Watch out for this young leader. He will be the future orator.His answer was sharp,crisp and upto the point. ...

In simple terms, DR Manmohan Singh could have played it Safe, by pushing the nuclear deal aside and saving his government when the Inflation is at 11 - 13%. But he stood by what he believed and i can not stop appreciating him. Mr Prime Minister many such bold decisions...

I had the misfortune of seeing the TV CLIP on parliament for a while a short while back and least I can say about my reaction is like any other "sane"person am devastated.Is that what we take pride in-is it the legacy we proudly nurtured through hundreds of years.I am...

I am quite a supporter of BJP and have hated Congress for their so called "Secular" policies. However, the nuclear deal forced me to change my views regarding the Congress. BJP s opposition to the deal was obvious since they din't want the Congress to take credit for what they...

What is the vote of confidence all about??...The Nuclear Deal or Inflation...In the past week I have joked with every member of my family about betting on "Government" or "Interim Government" after Tuesday...In the end it hardly bothers me...we are never the deciders, the public is and always will be...

Whether the congress wins the majority in the trust vote or it fails to retain it, but one thing for sure that our country's image in front of worlds super powers has just sinked into a sea full of shame. The number game of Indian politics today is just been...

Neither the ruling UPA, nor the opposition is bothered of the common man's interest.The people are not bothered of signing the deed with US or not, but they are bothered of their days of rocketing prices ahead.CPI(M)just has a very good axe to grind. Without pulling this government down on...

Whatever may be the result of the Trust Vote today, it has made any rational thinking Indian hang his neck feeling ashamed. So called MPs/ Law makers of this country behaving in a manner that is fit to be called rowdy like chota mota goondas behaving at street corners/public places....

All recent transactions may be reversed and a fresh mandate by the people is the only Trustworthy solution.because,people did not vote for the lawmakers to do what they are doing today.If Trust vote is a must,Why can't the speaker also vote at the same time, but his vote can be...

Yah..I m quite sure that the UPA may win the trust vote...UPA will win because most people of India tend to believe whatever the government says. At this moment the most vulnarable problem of our country is the extreme growth of prices of various daily used products. The UPA might...

Well no doubt, UP will stand by their name for Atomic Deal and will pull off the number game. All the small players know one thing this is the time to present themself for own as well as for country. It's like for them with "Ek Teer Ke Saath Do...

The trust vote is irrelevant now and it is just to be taken as an green or red signal for the nuke deal. With all mps switching side for monetary and other benifits the morality of all our parties except the left is questioned. Not justifying the left,but it has...

I do not have enough knowledge to comment on whether the N-deal will benefit India or not, but I am keeping a close watch on how the Trust vote game is moving. I do not favor any party but I am quite sure that falling government will have far more...

I think national interest should be the priorty for all political parties. High time Political parties/Opposition should stop behaving like crabs & selfish. All of us are well aware & are seeing the progress China has made.They had the political will & today they have excellent infrastrture/industry/ Nuclear power/planned cities...

It is good for the congress to get ride of the communist. They are not the suitable partners as far as the economic agenda is concern. Dr. Manmohan Singh is economic reformist and is best doing in that. Left is on the opposite side. Left has blocked Pension bill reform,...

I hope the UPA government wins the trust vote. I shudder to think about the alternatives - Mayawati or worse Advani! After listening to the speakers yesterday, the difference between Manmohan Singh & Advani became only too evident - Manmohan Singh, dignified and logical on one hand, and Advani, crude...

Well the D-Day has come.After watching yesterday's proceedings of the "Lower House", and the events on on the weekends,the "Congress" party again resort to the famous art of "Poaching" MP's of other political parties for survival of their Government.Well I congratulate Mr.Advani for his speech in which he said,that he...

It was enlightening to hear these magical words "I am speaking as an Indian & not as a political party member". Hope words turns into action preety soon :) ...

The biggest misconception amongst Bharatiya people today as spread by politicians and not questioned by the media is that if today Bharat signs the deal, tomorrow there will be cheap electricity in every nook and corner of every village and city in Bharat. This is false.The facts as they stand...

Yes I do feel the UPA will be able to just scrape through in the numbers game during the trust vote. But its sad to see, that there is such a lot of swapping going around. It has reduced the show of the Parliament into a mere trade house, with...

IF the government was for the national intrest they would have not got this deal prolong for so long.if inflation would have not raised and governments other policies like farm loan waiver not back fired we would have not seen this deal through at all.The government is trying to project...

The Nuclear Deal is very important for the country and must go ahead. The Left and BJP are acting against India's interest and seem directionless in their outlook. The UPA speakers like the PM, Pranab Mukherjee, Praful Patel Chidamabaram and Rahul Gandhi spoke with confidence and a great deal of...

A lot has been said about corruption, horse trading and so on. Yes, it is there, and there can be no doubts about it. It will always be there as long as there are fractured houses. But what is to be seen is by and large how have the MPs...

As the news keeps trickling down, and number 271 is glaring loud and clear, UPA will eventually make it. But What is the point of survival of this government, Nuke deal is on Auto Pilot mode, no one can stop it from India. Congress floor managers can add to there...

Today is the saddest days for Indian Politics. When the world was watching the Indian Parliment debating what future course will it take for the future of India. The shamefull act done by BJP party of bringing alleged bribe money on the floor of the house which is being watched...

With couple of hours pending for the trust vote to finish, everything looks poised for UPA to win the trust vote. But my concern from the entire political thamasha is what lies ahead for the Indian democracy. How long can we endure the perenially unstable government?One of the most disconcerting...

World's biggest democracy and irony is that it has very little in the name of Patriots. All the interviews I saw on media, the polititian are hell bent on making personal gains in terms of money, or seat offers or at the most statelevel gains in ensuring electoral wins. Nobody...

Every body would agree that BJP's victory in Karnataka was made easy despite heavy presence of Cong. because of one strong factorSplit in the secular vote.The same vote bank divided by two or more players.The Congress vote bank as well as BJP's vote bank are identically different.Presently BJP's inner circle...

The present impasse is the culmination of our apathy towards governance. It is our Karma that we have to suffer such corrupt "Leaders" (scum of the earth may be a better word). We go to a rationing office, we see corruption and we gladly pay some money to get our...

Whats been puzzling me ever since this drama of Nuclear deal has broken, the media has been focusing solely on the acts of our disgusting MP's and their money hungry methods, there is been no attempts on the part of the media to enlighten the public about the merits and...

I think the bunch of 545 people we have all collectively elected are leaving no stone unturned to make a mockery of the faith the country has reposed in them. We all cast our votes in the hope and trust that these guys will deliver on their promises. That aside...

Today, the only topic is the Confidence vote of the Government. But the larger issue is a Confidence in Parliament. Suitcases, political favors, promises, threats, have given a whole new dimension to Indian politics. Indian democracy has indeed travelled a long journey from the days of civil disobedience and marches...

Do we actually need or deserve all this..?? The "nuclear deal" has shown the kind of "commodities" we have placed in parliament. The elected MP's are supposed to represent us on the biggest stage of our country.....but are they actually doing it?. Is anyone actually bothered about the real agenda...?...

The question is who is to be Trusted. Can anyone trust these politicians in our Country?It is time now that both Congress and BJP should sit together and bring a legistation to introduce 2 party politics in Center. Other wise this will never be stopped will increase only as the...

CPI(M) might have committed 'historical blunder' in the past on several occasions. I am an ex-bank employee. It was a time during 1992-94, when the majority union, viz. AIBEA enetered into an agreement with the Indian Banks Association for introducing Pension Scheme in lieu of then prevailing Contributory PF scheme....

One of the best things to have happened to our Country is to have two of the Best Technocrats in the World and the most non-corrupt ones are at the helm of affairs today, when the Country - our beloved Bharat-Hindustan-India is on the verge of she being regarded as...

Let us for the sake of our future would be politicians of this country not let an honest PM get defeated to whom the national interest comes first and then the chair.Let us support him and set agood example ...
