Confident

The Parliament showed its confidence in this Government. So the Manmohan Government continues to be in power and the Nuke deal will materialize. The mudslinging that took place in the House for two days will now be continued outside, with the BJP alleging the UPA to have won the motion through corrupt and unfair means. The most happy person is Amar Singh of SP, with this coalition meaning much to him and his party.
Earlier during the day:
Rahul Gandhi: Pretty decent speech. It is relieving to see at least the young MPs talking sense, and not just shouting and blabbing. He might not have delivered a speech of ‘karisma’, might not have done justice to his being projected as the “star” speaker, but there was something in the interest of the nation. Usually the members beat around the bush during their speeches, or mock each other-where can they find time to discuss national issues amidst these. Rahul’s speech differs from those, so feel I.
Lalu Prasad: Oh God! I adore this man. Whatever you accuse him of; this is a person who can take on the rest of the Parliament alone. He was handling the whole Opposition all alone. And his wits, tongue they kept even his opponents laughing and at times clapping. There were so many who insulted him during their speeches, but once he gets to speak, he sees to it that all of them are slaughtered. You will never get bored watching him talk, with all his funny quotes. The only problem probably will be with his “ij” and “waj” (is and was). We might not be able to follow his command over English :) .
And having seen two days of debating, I nominate Somnath Chatterjee for the Nobel Prize for Peace. I would have become mad if I had gone through such a chaos. Controlling a class of one thousand nursery children will be far easier. Earlier I had thought that the Traffic Policemen in Ernakulam handled the most chaotic job in the world; now I know that the LS Speaker does it!
How many years more will it take for the entire Parliament to uphold the dignity of the House?
