<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Party sources indicated that Tuesday's meeting with the Left did not go very well for the Congress. RJD chief Lalu Yadav, who came down from Patna after taking time off from preparations for a massive rally, clearly indicated that the allies were not in a mood for elections. Sources said: "After an hour of deliberations, Lalu Yadav said, "Why are we talking like this? We do not want elections. We have to sort out the differences. I won't come from the next meeting if you talks of polls."
Desperate to mend fences with the Left, a copy of Sonia Gandhi's speech was shown to the Left Front leaders in the Tuesday meeting to convince them that it was not meant to offend them. The operative paragraph was marked and read out to the Left leaders who were very angry with the remarks.
<b>The speech, delivered in Hindi, read: "Main jaanti hoon ki yahan ke saath hee saare desh mein bijli ki bahut zaroorat hai. Har star par iska prayas ho raha hai. America se isliye parmaanu samjhaute ka prastaav hai. Aapke yahan rajya sarkar ne bhi utpadan badhaane ke liye yojanayen banayi hain. Indira Gandhi Thermal power project bhi isi ka ek hissa hai."
She continued: "Desh ho ya koi pradesh, jab hum vikas ke raaste par aagey badhte hain, toh bahut se tatv us mein baadha pahunchane ki koshish karte hain. Hamen samajhana chahiye ki who sirf Congress ke hee nahin, vikas ke bhi dushman hain."</b>
It is the last paragraph that did not go down well with the Left. However, Sonia discussed the speech personally with the Left leaders on Monday. It was again shown to the Left on Tuesday.

Who will blink is not clear? Commie and Laloo want to stay in power, congress is dreaming that they will come back with bang. I think Gujarat and HP election may tell trend in North India. South India will as usual go for Congress or commies.
