No Confidence Motion


As a politician Mamata Banerjee is unique in herself.She's more guided by emotions than by reasons.Nor has she learnt from mistakes and she's paying for it.See, all on a sudden she announced the names of the Presidential candidates in consultation with the most unpredictable man in Indian politics Mulayem Sing Jadav and openly declared she would not support the candidature of Pranab Mukherjee in Prez poll.Mulayem as usual changed his stance and Mamata was isolated.Undaunted she desperately started campaigning for her candidates but ultimately called it quits disgruntled failing to garner support in her favour. As an ally of UPA she almost moved the govt around by noose according to her sweet will.But as Center didn't agree to comply with her repeated undue requests to do her extra favour by sanctioning moratorium on state's debt to Center, her relation with UPA turned sour.So she severed her relation with Center in protest against its 'anti-people' measures like FDI ,fuel price hike etc.Contrary to her expectation that Center would sincerely try to bring her back, Center,in fact, did nothing worthwhile to this effect except making only formal request to reconsider her decision.This indifference made her furious and she decided to topple the UPA govt by moving no confidence motion in the winter session of the parliament.She made declaration to this effect also and that too with her only 19 MPs.She perhaps took it for granted that other political parties would also lend support to her obviously legitimate move of no confidence motion.Now she's in a fix.She can't even procure the support of requisite number of MPs(at least 50) to initiate the no-confidence motion, let alone win the motion.Now she has been so desperate and feel so desolate that she's approached her most despised enemy so called 'untouchable' CPIM) on whom she breaths fire and brimstone almost every day for support.Mamata Banerjee who's supposed to be a matured politician by many is now in a pitiable plight for which she's herself responsible.
