No, Prime Minister
Prime
Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee's government
bowed out of office after a confidence vote in Parliament on Saturday which saw the
government losing by a solitary vote. The fall of the government has been as dramatic as
was the magnitude of its ineptitude. The very basis of the government was dishonesty and
corruption and the House of the People ratified the nation's verdict that the time was
indeed up for Mr Vajpayee.

of global finance. The collapse of the so-called Asian tigers has not made any impact on
the proponents of these ideas |

And Congress being the largest Opposition
