July 22, 2008 was day when the people glued to their TV sets. It was a day when the fate of our country and its future were to be decided. The day before, showcased hot word-fight between Advani and Manmohan which was moderated by Somnath . In addition, the speech of Advani was the one, which impressed me very much. Even though I oppose his ideology, it was the first day I liked him, for the speech he delivered. “UPA Govt. is a patient in ICU. And everyone is asking whether he will survive or not". The day passed by making a statement that the day after was the day of the year. The all-crucial day came, the one, which decided the future of UPA govt. Parliament continued to be a host for crucial debates .By 4 o clock in the evening some 3 MPs of BJPs came with allegation that they were bribed to vote for UPA on trust vote. They came with wads of 1000 Rupees notes. Chaos, which erupted, (which is common with Parliament and all democratic institution of our country) made Parliament adjourn until 06.30 PM. House came back with Manmohan delivering his speech (which he did not complete due to continuing chaos). Then it was time for Vote. MPs casted their votes. After half an hour, result came UPA WON TRUST VOTE.Even though UPA won on technical terms, it failed on moral grounds. It clearly showed that money is even more powerful than democracy in this country. Bags of money of INDIA INC. have won over people of this country.Yes, we bow before you. We the common people of this country are nothing before the thickness of the 1000 Rupees notes. The PEOPLE (which are supposed to be the strongest word in the world) became very much like a Rupee coin for Mukesh Ambani.
