86% of Netizens wanted UPA govt to survive
The UPA government faces a vote of confidence on Tuesday. Unlike in the past, MPs are being traded openly, so much so that even bookies are putting money on our honourable Members of Parliament. While the brazen and shameless act has shocked all, what appears to have been lost in the bargain is the real reason behind the need for this confidence vote - Manmohan Singh's decision to go ahead with the civil nuclear deal. We are a democracy and each one has a right to express his or her opinion on anything of national importance. That is the strength of our democracy. Regretfully, all this seems to have been obliterated in the shenanigans of the past few days. The need for the nuclear deal has been discussed in detail over the past few days, and none can dispute that it is critical for a nation whose energy needs are growing. But then there are clauses in the deal that make some upset, again with some merit. Once again there can be arguments whether the ruling party went about it in a proper manner or not. Given the situation, do you think the UPA government should survive or not?
