What a Masterstroke!

Hi,
Hope everyone is enjoying the "parliament tamasha" ove the last week or so.. Govt finally survived the trust vote(or the distrust vote!) as was expected. So where does the situation stand for the govt right now. Well definitely it is better than being with left parties. There are some good reasons for that:
1. Left parties had opposed the govt on lot of reform related issues. Now, having divorced from them, it will be easier for the govt to push the reforms like disinvestment of PSUs and pension reforms, which were pending for a long time.
2. Having won the trust vote means there's no opposition to the NUKE deal that govt is after. So it can speed up the process smoothly.

So we can say that govt(or you can say congress..) have played it's card really well. They probably have got themselves in the best possible situation.
So where do left parties go from here. Well they were in a strong position in the center which they are unlikely to achieve in near future. Had they gone against the govt at the right time(when govt didn't have support of SP etc..) then things would have been more interesting. But then probably they were in the mood to "Make the hay while sun Shines". But now it's a quite long night ahead of them. Have a nice sleep!
