<b>NDA to UPA: Prove majority in a week</b>
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The NDA constituents led by BJP met at party leader L K Advani's residence on Wednesday evening to decide its future course of action.
Following the meeting, the NDA demanded that the government should be asked to prove its majority within a week. It also decided to approach President Pratibha Patil in case the trust vote doesn't take place soon.
It also demanded that a special session of Parliament be convened at the earliest.
<b>Earlier, the BJP alleged the timing of Left parties' withdrawal of support to the government was "suspicious" as they waited till the Congress clinched a deal with the Samajwadi Party to save the ruling dispensation. </b>
<b>"The timing is suspicious. Were they waiting for the Samajwadi Party to cosy up with the Congress? One thing is sure that the Left were waiting for an opportune time, so that the government does not fall," </b>BJP spokesperson Rajeev Pratap Rudy told reporters here.
The saffron party alleged a "private deal" between the SP and the Congress, which the Left has "facilitated".
"The private deal between the SP and the Congress needs to be made clear by the govt. It is managed more or less by the Left parties who are the patrons of UNPA.
Nothing have changed since middle of 2007 then the Left's opposition to the deal begun. It was all a ploy to ensure the government sails through. The nation knows that the government's tenure has virtually ended. The country is waiting for a change," he added.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
