Ok... here's some updates on the defection.....
Two members of the left front suddenly decided to switch sides for the better opportunities available...(grass is always greener on the other side).
They were successful in attracting two more.
Rumours are rife about horse trading (the nagpur rep of course)
Also tomorrow should reveal the fate of the member who decided to abstain today.
Of course since the chatterbox of the left has let loose that the fact that their house is still in disorder with respect to policy decisions, it remains to see whether the situation will remain so after the I-day.

Dirty Politics on I-day eve... (deja vu.....)
14-Aug
Today's unexpected events have set a dangerous precedent. Without any warning whatsoever, the "Left" parties decided to withdraw support to the United "Front" and defected en masse to the opposition "Right" wing. The intelligentia of the house are still in a state of shock after witnessing the never-before-seen spectacle.
The sudden change of loyalties is thought to be due to the "pipeline dispute" between GB and FB. Apparently, the Left parties were outraged by the decision to pursue the pipeline deal with FB in total disregard to the needs of GB.
The overnight revolt has come as a deadly blow to the united "front" which has been in decline for some time now. The "Right", on the other hand, welcomed the move enthusiastically. Most of the Right-wing could hardly conceal their joy. Nevertheless, there are reports that a few members of the hard-line Right group are uncomfortable in accommodating the Left members and expressed fears that this might lead to a dilution of their party ideology.
Meanwhile, amongst all the hullaballoo, admirable was the principled stand of the lone member from Nagpur constituency who refused to betray the ruling coalition due to historical and moral reasons. Rumours are rife about the expulsion of the nagpur member for having "seriously compromised" the party position. The "Left" has shown that it can be very unpredictable and ruthless in it's reactions. The coming days will be crucial in deciding the fate of the member.
Whatever may be the truth behind today's shocking events, one thing is certain: the harmony that has been prevailing in the house since the unanimous re-election of Mishra has been damaged beyond repair.

CHICKEN MATTER
Someone questioned the civil department 'WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?'
MHP sir: See, if at all the concrete on road is set, then only chicken can cross the road. Actually what I meant to say is that concrete is set. See, when I was doing my BE, everyday morning 5 o clock I used to see many chicken crossing road.. one chicken crossing road is not at all a big thing.... Y u r not able to followa?
HTE sir: In India chicken will cross road also, national highway also.. We are in 21st century and no road rules and regulations for animals here... Our systems are totally useless!!
REDDY sir: Chicken can cross road also, konkan railway also... it can act in film like mungaru male also.... no problem... 'kuch bhi chalta hai' !!
LOKESH sir: Yes, it is a very serious matter that the chicken crossed the road. Various investigations and discussions are going on about this topic.
MTP maam: Roads are geocentric organizations.. so chicken has complete power and authority to cross.. Finally all the chickens reach Mc Donalds only... And I think Abhiram has a better answer for this question !!
DISCLAIMER: NOT MEANT TO MOCK ANYONE.. HOPE ITS TAKEN IN THE RIGHT SPIRIT !:)
