Desi Cartman Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 NEW DELHI: Some trust votes have gone right to the wire. Ask former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and he will tell you. ( Watch ) Vajpayee, the veteran BJP leader, who holds the record of moving the maximum trust motions — 1996, 1998 and 1999 — witnessed the narrowest defeat the last time. His government lost by a solitary vote — 269 to 270. On the other hand, some of trust votes have had wide margins. While some PMs won or lost it comprehensively, others didn't have the heart to face it and resigned even before the ballot. Of the eight trust votes in the nearly three decades since 1979, only three PMs survived, and five others either lost the vote or had to resign before the ballot. Manmohan Singh on Monday became the sixth prime minister since 1979 to face a trust vote in Parliament. The no-confidence motion was moved for the first time way back in 1979. The then PM Charan Singh never faced the House and resigned. A decade later, VP Singh became the PM in December 1989. He won the motion that time but lost another in November 1990, beaten 142-to-346. Chandra Shekhar, who succeeded Singh, won a trust motion in 1990 but resigned five months later after the Congress withdrew support to his government. PM P V Narasimha Rao then won the confidence vote in July 1991 —265 to 251 — and his government went on to last the full five-year term. In June 1996, H D Deve Gowda, as the head of the United Front government, won a trust motion but lost it 10 months later when Congress again withdrew support to his government. I K Gujral won the vote of confidence in April 1997 as PM of the United Front government but resigned seven months later after losing majority support. In 1996, Vajpayee, heading the NDA government, resigned on the floor of the House before the confidence motion could be put to vote, admitting he did not have the numbers in his favour. Manmohan Singh will be the first prime minister who will not vote on a trust motion since he is not a member of the Lok Sabha. It is also the first time since 1989 when a PM will be seeking a trust vote after four years in office. Six PMs starting from V P Singh had faced a trust vote within the first two years in office. I think Enough trading has been done to make sure that this Govt survives. I think CPI has been responsible for most of these situations. I also wonder what Congress is getting into by aligning with Susuri - Mayawati. she has ditched BJP bad in the past after initially agreeing to from a govt in UP.

As per electronic vote count, 253 votes were polled in favour of the government and 232 against it. There were 2 abstentions. This final tally may change later after counting of voting slips. Earlier, the Opposition members rushed to the well of the House, forcing the PM to cut short his reply to the debate.

Desi Cartman Posted July 22, 2008 Author Posted July 22, 2008 even news channels are laughing at this .. pathetic
The Outsider Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 arey yaar these monkeys cant even press a freaking button , they have to choose from Red Green and Yellow .. how difficult is that ? Are we electing people who cant even understand/learn vote in the parliament .. Right....now think about the electorate who is even more illiterate than these guys and has to choose between 10s, sometimes 100s of candidates in elections. How do we know they are making the choice that they intend to make? These MPs would have been given some kind of orientation at least and still can't do such a simple thing.
