More erosion in Congress
The Government's chances of surviving the July 22 trust vote received a fresh jolt on Friday amid reports of cracks widening in the Samajwadi Party and another Congress MP from Haryana going the Opposition's way. Â
As the Government went all out to woo every single MP, it also faced renewed allegation of offering huge bribes. Rebel SP MP Munnawar Hasan claimed <b>he was offered Rs 25 crore </b>to back the UPA during the trust vote while the single-<b>MP Nationalist Loktantrik Party said Rs 15 crore </b>were promised for a vote.

The political activities are expected to intensify further on Saturday when BSP chief Mayawati and former Prime Minister Deve Gowda arrive in Delhi. Gowda will be meeting Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who called him on Friday morning and urged him to back the trust vote. On the other hand, Mayawati is expected to hold talks with Left leaders and TRC chief Chandrasekhar Rao to mobilise numbers against the UPA Government. Mayawati has drafted Rao to woo RLD leader Ajit Singh. Rao met Singh on Saturday evening. The TRS leader will call on Deve Gowda on Saturday and if that meeting went well, Mayawati may also call on the former Prime Minister.
Telugu Desam Party chief Chandrababu Naidu will also land here on Sunday and hold talks with left leaders and Ajit Singh. The entire exercise could climax in a meeting of the Left, the UNPA, the BSP, JD(S) and TRS.
