Constitutional Validity?

18th April 1999      P srini @hotmail.com

Hi all

By now all of you know of the **one** magic vote which tilted 
the balance against the government. The *one* vote, some 
people count the vote the Mr Gamango, Orissa CM, who was asked
to vote according to conscience by the speaker Mr Bala Yogi.

My question for discussion especially input from constitutional 
experts on the list is the validity of the decision of the speaker.

Is the speaker right in allowing the vote of Mr Gomango? Is it 
within the framework of constitution to allow a member who is a
state level executive to continue to operate as a member of parliament?

any feedbck welcome..
And yes predictions about future PM also welcome given the complications
which are far too complicated to be ironed out to form a healthy 
constructive combination as opposed to the destructive combination which
they could barely form to bring the govt out by one vote? Is it going to 
be
Sonia? Will mulayam allow soniya? Will TMC support a govt with AIADMK? 
Will Paswan work alongside Laloo? 
A great many questions too..
anyway coming few days really promise to be interesting and
it is one of the few times when the president has to 
really act with a lot of judiciousness and prudence.
