US-India Nuclear deal likely to survive!

The Manmohan Singh government proved the majority as the House of the People went to voting on the Confidence motion moved by the PM himself. Earlier, the Left parties had withdrawn support for the UPA government over the Issue.
Now, it is likely that the Government will complete its tenure ans comfortably passes the nuclear deal with United States of America.

Total votes:
FOR UPA--------->275
AGAINST UPA----->256
ABSTAINED------->10

Halfway mark:271

A comfortable win! However, the Government now has to respond to the allegations raised by 3 BJP members regarding bribe of order 10 crores been offered for trust votes.

Bribe Money shown on parliament!

The PM has yesterday asked for proof if it could be proved that the UPA was trying to bribe the trust votes from MP's . And today, his wish been granted.
MP's from opposition thronged the centre stage of parliament showing the bribe money which amounted to Rs. 1 crore in cash which had been given as bribe money for his trust vote for the Government.
All this drama went live on tv and the members required the Pm resign his post immediately.




Live videocast

d DTH way!

In India the easiest way to enter a living room of a family would be through their television sets. And the more practical one too! Thanks to the burgeoning population and the aesthetic values the Indians preserve.
The era of dominance of television sets by the Government owned Prasar Bharati's DD(Doordarshan) has ended. Taken over by the rapidly growing cable networks across India, one can no longer see TV antennas even at the most inaccessible regions of Interior India. The decade has seen more and more satellite television channels spurting from nowhere! With more than many languages you could beam your telecast across with different frequencies and languages.
Its not the cable system that's making news now! The new mantra is DTH .
With the implementation of Conditional Access Systems(CAS) by the government people of India had to pay more for what they wanted to watch. This resulted in evolution of DTH in India. Initially, the government ventured into the field much without proper analysis of the system named under DD DIRECT+ . Then it was the DISH DTH owned by the ZEE networks with a majority of the shares. Followed by the TATA's TATASKY. The new baby on the block is SUN networks' SUN DIRECT . All have prospective packages for their customers. Its yet to be seen whether the Good ol cable system still survives!
For now the DTH seems to have an upper hand !! and i think may continue to do so......

Bargain for seats!

With the Left Parties withdrawing support to the UPA government, the Congress is rallying in for support from every single MP to sustain the government through its tenure.

"Every Dog has its Day"

and its now for the MP's in India.
Congress party leaders are busy having talks with all the minnor parties for supporting the government. Though the SP has moved forward and offered the Letter of suport to the President today, its yet to be seen if the smaller parties still vests the confidence in the government.
And the fun part is that its sort of a bargain! What will the government offer in exchange for the support of the MP. Well, the demands vary from a new CBI(Central Bureau of Investigation) chief, economic reforms transforming the corporate sector, a separate new state of Telangana, assured LOK SABHA seats,... it all depends what you have to offer on the other hand whether the government would likely support or not.

GIVE MORE TAKE MORE!

Left pulls out of UPA

The Pm's categorical statement in which he states that he would approach the IAEA for the approval. The statement also stated that the government had the number to prove majority even if the Left parties pulls out!
This statement has effectively pushed the fast forward button on the HIGH command of Left parties and, withdrew the support for the UPA.

PM's commitment to Bush

Its been raining chaos throughout the state. India has succumbed to the price rise and the Finance minister could not do anything to control the soaring price rise. Inflation rate now stands at 11.24% for the week that ended last Friday.

While the prices are on a ride to clouds, there is a severe shortage of fuel available across the state of Tamil Nadu down south. Chennai commuters now resort to using MRTS(Mass Rapid Transport System) or Metropolitan buses rather taking their vehicle out of the garage as they are not able to find enough fuel on which it could run even though at a hiked price. The truckers on their part are on a strike against the hiked prices on fuel which further attributes to above said.

All these are not concerning the PMO or the other political parties. Its the NUKE DEAL. The UPA led coalition Government has fallen to its own peer pressure. The Left parties have made their stance clear that they would not support the government on the DEAL. However, the PM is now concerned with attending the G8 summit and gaining rapport with smaller parties like Samajwadhi Party(SP), so that even though the Left withdraws the support the Government still survives.
Clearly indicating his dedication to fulfill the commitment made to Mr. Bush in 2005, the PM explains the SP regarding the deal who feels its important to keep communal forces from coming back to Parliament.
Nevertheless none of the parties in UPA including the DMK is ready to face the elections any time soon with such high inflation rates, and uneasy political scenario.
Left parties always had a good relationship with Congress which is quickly turning soar with a new partnership developing with SP.

Times are changing.
So will the Governments!
