Government must seek trust vote, demands strident Advani
As the UPA Government prepared contingency plan to deal with life after Left, the BJP accused Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of surrendering before the American interest on the nuclear deal and asked him to seek an immediate vote of confidence in Lok Sabha. 

<b>The main opposition party also questioned the "opportunistic" alliance between the Samajwadi Party and the Congress.</b>

With the Left and UPA all set to sign their divorce papers after four years of an uneasy relationship, Leader of Opposition LK Advani on Saturday asserted that the UPA lacked both numerical majority and moral authority to push through an international agreement with far-reaching implications for the future of the country.

<b>"As the UPA is now a minority, it has no right to execute any binding, international agreement. The BJP demands that the Government immediately call Parliament into session and take it fully into confidence. It must obtain Parliament's approval by first obtaining a vote of confidence from the House," </b>Advani said, addressing a joint Press conference with senior party leader Jaswant Singh.

A combative Advani launched a scathing attack on the Prime Minister and the Congress leadership, condemning Manmohan Singh's 'supine' surrender to American interest and his party's unprincipled pact with the SP.
