Laliths,
The biggest loser here are JVP who was putting out all kinds of demands and not taking in to account the importance of this vote. This was not merely a budget vote it was a vote for the future of this country.
rswkv says:
JVP's decision is a strategic one. First it didn't want to make the Government fall. So it did the calculation and found government's position is intact. Then it voted against the government to send a message to the president, Coming colour is not good. So fall in line or face the consequence in future.
Tamilnet.com says:
The JVP chose to vote against the budget and not abstain as it became obvious that the UPFA would be able to pass the budget without depending on JVP votes, informed sources said.
I think that rswkv is correct. It is strategic.
