<b>The UPA Government appears to be quite stable at the moment and the Left is in mood to topple it. Therefore, it is unlikely that the UPA will go for a snap poll. The grown rate of the economy being 8 percent and with upward movement of the economy due to a good monsoon as well as good exports, it is unlikely that people will be interested in any change at this point of time.
The Left made noise against the privatization of the airports and also about the stand that India has taken on the Iran nuclear issue. However, the Left has also made it clear that this does not warrant any threat to withdraw support from the UPA Government. On the other hand, the opposition political parties are not yet in a position to challenge the UPA in elections for the Parliament. It is a different matter in respect of the States, as for State elections the issues before the electorate and other associated deciding factors are quite different.</b>
