Is the government now preparing for confidence vote?
The Prime Minister will make one last attempt to persuade Mamata's ministers when they come to hand over their resignations on Friday, but the Congress is firm on no rollback. They ask why can't Trinamool increase LPG subsidy like Congress-ruled states? The big surprise of the day, however, was Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's googly: he said he'll support anyone who gives special status to his state.
