There's a real danger of making this into a LKA vs MMS episode. MMS has lot to gain going down this route when everyone knows that the vote was brought on the floor by people MMS has been sleeping with for 50 months. What's sleeping mean? Exactly that.
LKA and his men will have to play this right if they desire to come back in another 10 months or so during LS polls. In another 10 months for all you know Mayawati will be on UPA wagon with Mulayam trying to scrape through with 3rd-front wannabes.
It'll be interesting to see how the bribe scandal will play through. The sting was made by Rajadeep Sardesai's TV crew and BJP were forced to jump the gun. Can UPA kill this CD and the story?
Biggest loser in this is Prakash Karat. With any luck he'll migrate to China and take his beloved with him. If Somnath can engineer some additional splits in Left, it might not necessarily be a bad thing; Basu might still be calling shots via Somnath.
What's the dynamics in INC now? Rahul babba still a PM candidate or will MMS retire into the night after pulling this through? There's little doubt that UPAs spent money like there's no tomorrow to stay in power, so how does it look for next LS elections. Who's gonna fill the hole in pocket now? At what cost to nation?
