New Delhi: The UPA Government is edging closer to winning the vote of confidence Parliament on Tuesday.
There are 266 MPs for the Government and 270 MPs against it. The Government got a slight edge by Sunday evening after some NDA MPs have decided to switch sides and vote for it.
The Janata Dal (Secular) and the Rashtriya Lok Dal have decided to vote against the Government but the Government is wooing seven MPs who have not decided their votes, hoping they would either support it on Tuesday or abstain.
The Government is wooing seven MPs who have not decided their votes, hoping they would either support it on Tuesday or abstain. The Government needs two-three MPs to abstain on Tuesday, so that the halfway mark comes down to 267 or thereabouts.
On the other side of the political divide too, there are causes of concern. For the BJP, there is fear of some of its MPs abstaining. Its Balrampur MP Braj Bhushan has decided to support the UPA.
The UPA snared rebel Janata Dal (United) MP Ramswaroop Prasad, who announced that he would vote for the Government in “national interest”.
