UPA's Survival On 22nd July? And Aftermath -2

[Capt M Kumar]

Politically, it might make sense for the UPA to test the BJP by bringing some of these Bills to Parliament. The winter session might be a good time for the central government to expose those in the Opposition bent upon voting a Bill out just to score a political point. Indeed, if the UPA wants to show its unflinching commitment to the remaining reform agenda it must stick its neck out and even risk losing a vote.

At least, it will be seen as being decisive. The BJP, on the other hand, will run the risk of being seen as anti-reform by the growing middle class. As it is, the party is not entirely happy with the way it is being perceived on the issue of nuclear deal and its strong association with national interest. It would make sense for the UPA to test the BJP on further reforms, which have the endorsement of the middle class.
