The assessment of the party leaders was that the confidence vote of July 22 would be "very unpredictable and close." The confidence exuded by the government and the UPA when the Left parties withdrew support that they would get over 280 votes in favour, has now waned, they felt.
<b>
Even if the government wins the trust vote, "it will not be a smooth affair to run the government as there could be voting on each and every issue. The UPA, we feel, will be under tremendous pressure to cobble a majority for each and every vote," the senior party leader said.</b>

Regarding the new relationship established between the Left and the BSP, he said this was limited to the trust vote in which the party headed by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister

Mayawati would vote against the UPA at the Centre, taking a position opposing the Indo-US nuclear deal.
