In Lok Sabha, UPA has need to reach out Updated - 12/3/2010 - indianexpress.
Two days after celebrating its victory in the Rajya Sabha, the UPA today agreed to put the Women’s Reservation Bill on hold pending consultations with “all concerned.” The Bill awaits passage in the Lok Sabha after having been cleared by the Elders. Sources said the Bill had been held back “only for now” and the government had bought time not only to facilitate the passage of urgent financial business in the Lok Sabha — to avoid a crisis after March 31 — but also to assuage the angry Yadav trio: SP’s Mulayam Singh Yadav, JD(U)’s Sharad Yadav and RJD’s Lalu Prasad Yadav. The Congress, some leaders said, was also keen to foil what it saw as a BJP strategy to widen the gulf between the ruling alliance and the SP-RJD combine, both potential allies. There was a realization that it was advisable not to replay the Rajya Sabha script in the Lok Sabha. Also, a postponement gives the government elbow room to better plan its course in the Lower House.
