The UPA Government has won the trust vote in the Lok Sabha. Votes in favour of
the Government outweighed the numbers in favour of those opposing the motion.
Amid the political acrimony during the trust vote debate, Rahul Gandhi today
disarmed the BJP when he heaped praise on former prime minister Atal Bihari
Vajpayee for working to ease energy shortage.
Flagging the point that energy security was vital to reduce poverty and to
maintain growth while batting for the Indo-US nuclear deal, the scion of the
Gandhi family made a mention of Vajpayee’s role.
Participating in the trust vote debate, Gandhi first praised Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh for showing “tremendous courage and confidence” by realising the
problem of energy deficiency in the country and working for its solution.
In the same breath, Gandhi praised Vajpayee saying he “also saw the problem (of
energy deficiency) and worked for its solution” in remarks that took the
saffron party members by surprise.
Apparently finding no response to his charitable remark about the leader of a
rival party, Gandhi pointedly looked towards the BJP benches and quipped :
“ispe taali mariye, ispe to taali mariye (at least, clap for this)."
