Lok Sabha, the Indian Parliamentary Lower House votes today to climax a month of hectic political parleying.
Almost all the TV News Channels are covering Parliament, beaming Live images of the debate on the motion from Lok Sabha, New Delhi. Yesterday External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee, Leader of the Opposition Lal Krishna Advani spoke passionately and today Railway Minister Laloo Prasad Yadav and 'Crown-prince' Rahul Gandhi, son of the Congress Chief Sonia Gandhi & former Prime Minister Late Rajiv Gandhi and Finance Minsiter P. Chidambaram are expected to speak.
It seems like a sudden death- the vote could swing either way. In case of a tie it will be the Speaker will have a casting. Television Channels like NDTV Live, CNN IBN, Star News, ZEE News, DD News, TV9 glued to the political developments 24 x7 .
If there are experts who can talk in a simple language on DD, NDTV, AAj Tak, Star News, ZEE News, CNN IBM, BBC, then maybe the common man can form an opinion.
The motion will be put to vote after the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will reply to the debate. The penultimate speaker will be the Leader of the Opposition. The vote is scheduled to be taken at 6pm but past history of such confidence motions are that it might end well past midnight.
My earlier posts had been on the list of MPs, What Advani should do and this morning's news.
Another blog tracking the development is this.
