Congress floor managers claim double victory
The Congress floor managers claimed a double victory of sorts in the trust vote in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday -- not only had they kept their own flock together, but it was clear from the votes cast that the principal opposition, the Bharatiya Janata Party, was not able to convince even its own MPs to vote against the Manmohan Singh government.
''The Congress will definitely win majority in this election,'' Dr Singh told reporters after emerging from the polling booth.
