Ramana,<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->What if a MP is bought by terrorists and takes out the lot? Is there no bag check for entry into Lok Sabha? <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd--> If you read the entire article in my post #384, it was then MP Madhu Dandavate who sneaked in a pistol in Parliament to drive home the point.

All these pertain to changing rules of the game and it's not possible. It's like telling the fox guarding the chicken coop to go veggie. This episode and some others in past (installing Prathiba last year, creating UPA in '04 etc) clearly shows that Congress is the only party that mastered the game and they will play for the keeps taking no prisoners.
ABV's the only person in Indian history to have lost the confidence vote twice - and once with one vote. One would have thought that these guys had learnt tricks of the trade and not underestimated the opposition. Either they are not up to it or they have some brilliant reverse Chanakyniti going on. Time will tell.
