The ramifications of the trust vote in parliament are beyond the survival of the government.

Dr. Manmohan Singh will emerge as a stronger leader relegated Sonia Gandhi to the back seat.

Mr. Prakash Karat will come down to earth and understand that the Left parties were not as important as he thought they were.

L. K. Advani will realize that “abhi dilhi dur hai”.

Ms. Mayawati will understand that with just a self certified qualification of “dalit ki beti” she will not be able to get the PM’s chair and that she will have to give up her bitter tone and adopt a sophisticated behavior to achieve her goal.

Amar Singh will gloat that he saved the government.

And of course the outspoken Lalu Prasad Yadav will claim that he is the “king maker” of Indian politics.
