Nakaraj: so no coalitions this time is it?
Vishnu: i think they might work out
its risky to stay a minority govt for 5 years
waht do you think ?
Nakaraj: yeah
man I am bad with indian politics
so many parties
4:25 PM Vishnu: :)
Nakaraj: its like IPL
Vishnu: hehehehehehe
i try and follow whats happening
Nakaraj: dont know which player i whch team
UPA is congress + few others rite?
Vishnu: tool me 50% of the tournament to remember which player in waht team
Nakaraj: yeah
Vishnu: yes.. UPA is congress + Trinamul congress + National Confrence + DMK
4:26 PM and a cpl more
Nakaraj: ok
UPA as a whole has majority
or do they need to go to 3rd block 4th block etc?
Vishnu: they have 262
4:27 PM they need 272 for majority
Nakaraj: ok
Vishnu: but they are not in minority, because Samajwadi Party (mulayam), bahujan samaj party (mayavati), Ralu's party and paswan'sparty all pledging unconditional support
Nakaraj: where are the rest 10 coming from
ok
4:28 PM Vishnu: in return, they are not going to be a part of hte govt... since they know govt will not give them any ministries
Nakaraj: then why are they pledging support
?
Vishnu: now.. of the 262 itself.. DMK is trying to bargain for as many ministries as they can... and that talks failing
Nakaraj: that budda is nut case
Vishnu: for the sake of 'stability'.. tehy are supposed to be pledging.. but in reality.. it is because tehy dont have an option...
4:29 PM i mean.. they dont want to share the table with left and BJP to sit in the opposition.. so they are trying to be with the stronger party
Nakaraj: ok
Vishnu: moreover... msot of their leaders are having CBI cases agaisnt them... so they want to be in good books of ruling party
:D
Nakaraj: in case they do not support congress/ UPA
Vishnu: so the 'unconditional' support
Nakaraj: ok
4:30 PM Vishnu: if they dont support... then it will be a minority govt
Nakaraj: then there should be re-election
Vishnu: meaning.. everytime there is a vote in the house... the vote has a 'chance' of being voted out
its a small risk..
no re-elections..
that would happen in case of a constitutioanl crisis...
we are no where near one.. jsut the media hyping stuff up al il
4:31 PM rajdeep sardesai shouting at the top of his voice.. nothing more :)
Nakaraj: re-election will take place when none of the coalitions are able to show 272 seats
ok
4:33 PM Vishnu: no.. re-election will take place if no government can be formed
4:34 PM we can have a minority govt for the whole term of 5 years
if 20 ppl abstain from voting.. tehn the magic numebr goes down from 272 to 262 :)
Nakaraj: ok
Vishnu: and no MP in his right mind wil lgo for re-election becuse tehy already spent all their money buying votes.. so unless tehy earn some.. they will not go for elections.. so many will abstain from voting to save the govt :)
4:35 PM even though its in 'minority'
4:36 PM so rahul gandhi seems to be a really smart strategist actually.. if all this is his brain child..
:d
Nakaraj: ok
man I wish I was in india and I could get this gyan
4:37 PM why dont you write ablog or something...
simple words explanation of whats happening
Vishnu: i am also missing out on good intellectual conversations
Nakaraj: it will help ppl like me
Vishnu: so jsut think to myself
blogging is something i have never done
Nakaraj: ndtv and media is too much to read and understand
Vishnu: donno where to start
4:38 PM thats the prob
4:39 PM Nakaraj: yeah starting is always the issue
an idea for you
4:40 PM use this chat transcript as an introduction to why you are blogging
:P
