It would be just pulling on till the elections, in 2013 or 2014? It is a game of numbers in Parliament, there can be no mincing the matter. Whether the MPs belong to national parties or regional parties or some parochial ones, their support and votes count in the sustenance of the government. Coalition set-up runs in many countries, particularly in Israel, Japan, Italy etc There, when they find the going tough, they call for fresh elections. The post-election scenario would bring out a little different outcome, still coalitions pull on. Now the UPA II Government in India is facing the worst of its crises. Those who do not want to sing a swan song in Parliament now (for where is the guarantee that the same MPs would return after fresh elections?), would try to stitch some support so that the government survives. Who would all be coming out with support, Mulayam Singh Yadav, Mayawati, Mamata Banerjee, Biju Patnaik or so? For the Congress Party, announcement of elections should be at a convenient time. Is it the time now which is convenient? Lo, elections are on the horizon, at least during winter time this year!!!
