Political Thriller

Dated : 11 July '08 @ 22:17

The last week has been pretty exciting as far the political situation in the country is concerned.

So many things are happening so fast that it is becoming more like a thriller movie. The climax will be on July 22 nd wen the govt. seeks a trust vote on the floor of the house. That is the D Day.
The number crunching has already begun and it appears as if the govt. wil be on the safe side.

The whole issue has just reinforced the long held belief that in politics there are no permanent enemies but only permanent interests , and also that there are hardly any national leaders left . Most of them are just party leaders .

Take for instance ,the SAD . They say they are in favour of the nuke deal but wil oppose the govt on the floor of the house . Why?? ..arrey maamu , they are in the opposition and it will be irresponsible for them to vote for the govt.. Its immaterial to them that if the govt. falls then the deal would get stuck unless the next govt. is in place ..and its immaterial to them that its a good deal and in national interest . But then thats how politics is played here .

Another amusing character is the RLD. They say they are in favour too but they wil support the govt only if there regional aspirations are met. The TRS asks the PM to commit to the telangana cause to get there vote for the govt...

So wat is the point ?? is the motion going to be related to the nuke deal or the govt on the whole . If its the former then ideally all parties who are in favour should vote irrespective of there coalition dharm . If its the whole of govt. then i think the communists better abstain from it coz they wer with this govt for the past 4 years and to vote against will be like commiting hara kiri..


Anyways lets hope better sense prevails and things move on smoothly . If the thinking segment of the country say that the deal is good then it should be good. The US is giving us a free ride so that it can counter the advance of china...Good for us. But ofcourse we know wen to say no to uncle sam ..and i think uncle sam realises it too ..but then they have no option too ..

Lets get done with this deal .After all its just 1 of 100s we have with US . Lots of problem on hand to tackle and nuke deal wont solve any of them..

The next weeks gona be boring. I think the experts have said all they had to .. Its time to sit back and watch patiently as the game unfolds further and the movie reaches its climax..

Til then , its happy weekend ..
