The action is not shifting from sports, music and movie channels to channels that are showing and covering the Indian Politics news and updates.Lok Sabha TV is all set and the proceedings in the Loksabha about the Trust vote and No confidence motion will be shown Live. This will be very interesting to see how different people express their views and how the ruling UPA government is gearing up to respond to the opposition parties - NDA, Communists, BSP and the UNPA.Lok Sabha TV has already sent some rate cards for letting other TV news channels to cover the proceedings - the website address of Lok Sabha is loksabha.nic.in. This is as per the information available online.The number game is very tight and the trust will be very close and we just cannot predict anything till it comes. News channels on TV television are covering this as breaking news and headlines news - you can tune it upto any channel about the news related to Lok Sabha, Indian parliament, parliament, parliament of India , Trust vote, No Confidence motion.NDTV, Aaj Tak, CNBC, CNN IBN, DD News, ETV, TV9, Star News, ZEE News, Doordarshan and most of the other news channels are covering the most interesting next two days of Political Activity in India.Most of the websites are also updating their content with the latest events - Times of India, Rediff etc.
India will soon go through a major climax this tuesday when the ruling Congress led UPA government will face a trust vote. This situation is because of the nuclear deal - the ruling coalition government wants to go the for the deal and the opposition is against it.Communist party CPIM was supporting the UPA government for more than 4 years now, with elections due in less than a year - this withdrawal of support to UPA from CPIM has led to utter chaos in the political circles in India.The BJP led main opposition party NDA is also against the deal and is doing its very best to topple the government. Smaller parties at state level who have even 1 seat are in the commanding position because of the tight number situation.Apparently there is news that lot of horse trading is going on and both Congress and its allies, NDA and its allies + Communists parties are doing their best to keep theirs and their supporting parties folks together.There are few members of parliament who are in jail and hospital etc, the party leaders who they belong to are doing their best to bring them to the Parliament to participate in the trust vote. Congress chairperson Sonia Gandhi is all determined to push the Nuclear Deal and so is the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.Speculations about Mayawati from BSP being the PM of IndiaThe ruling party in Uttar Pradesh BSP led by Mayawati is supporting the opposition and Mayawati is doing all she can to brind down the UPA government in India. If the Government loses the trust vote and the entire opposition is united then they may have a chance to form the government and in this case there are indications and some parties are floating the idea of making Mayawati as the Prime Minister of India - even though this will be for a short term.If this is the case then it will be an history for independent India since she will be the first Dalit Prime Minister of India.Political heat is increasing and gaining momentum with small parties are holding on to the cards till the last minute. The people of India are not clear about the pros and cons of this Nuclear deal. In other countries opposition political parties come together in war like situations, in India they are coming together to bring down the government.Anyways, I am very eager to see the result of this trust vote. If Congress led UPA wins the trust vote then we will be seeing a lot of initiatives from them and also aggressiveness in going to the people for the next year's general elections in 2009.

To charge Rs 1 lakh for every five-minute feedIt's going to be a field day for the 40-odd news channels in the country as they gear up to cover the UPA Government's trust vote on July 22.From special polls to covering the behind the scenes story, the news channels are terming it as the ‘biggest drama that will get unfolded on television live'.Amidst this, Lok Sabha TV, the dedicated satellite channel for covering the proceedings of Lok Sabha live, has already despatched letters to all major news channels along with its rate-card for using its signals.News channels that use more than five-minutes of its feed of the Parliament's proceedings (on July 21, 22) will have to fork out Rs 100,000 for the event."We have had the practice of billing the news channels for using our special coverage like General Budget, Rail Budget and No-Confidence voting. And these billings are charged on per-event basis," Sunit Tondon, the newly appointed CEO, Lok Sabha TV, told Business Standard.Lok Sabha TV is the only authorised television channel that covers all the proceedings in the Lower House of Parliament.Its signals are taken by the various news channels, specially for events like the Budget and special sittings of Parliament.Media experts are expecting high ratings on July 22, specially in the evenings when the the voting is scheduled to take place."It would be interesting to compare the ratings at the time of voting with some of the popular shows on television," a media expert said.In order to move away from its dependence on the signals of Lok Sabha TV, the news channels have lined up their owns shows and surveys.AC Nielsen has done a survey for Star News across 19-cities to gauge the mood of the people before the crucial trust vote. "We are calling it Desh ka Vishwas Mat where people will give their verdict much before July 22. We will of course keep tracking the stories behind the number-game in the trust vote backed by graphics," Shazi Zaman, Editor, MCCS—the company that broadcasts STAR News, STAR Majha and STAR Ananda.The Lok Sabha secretariat too has made special arrangements for coverage of parliamentary proceedings.Hundreds of media passes have been given out and giant TV screens will be set up in two conference rooms within the Lok Sabha premises and at a place where the TV crews set up their cameras, said Lok Sabha Secretary General P D T Achary.
