'But why the threat of Mid-term polls?'
Believe you me, there is no threat of midterm; no MP worth his salt has today guts to kill kamdhenu cow in form of MP seat as the 1st timer MPs will lose their pension etc(to earn pension MPs have to be there full 5 years). I am not sure but Bajpai committed this mistake by declaring election before the completion of 5 yr term of Parliament with the result that 1st timer MPs lost their pension? Similar sentiment is being voiced by Advani:
To a question whether the party was prepared to bring a no-confidence motion to dislodge a government it considers corrupt, Mr. Advani said: ââ¬ÅThis is not a solution. The talk of mid-term polls is to frighten the MPs who do not want to curtail their term. We would welcome it, but it is not a solution.ââ¬Â http://hindu.com/2010/12/15/stories/2010...831600.htm
