Are bhai if you want to die ..die in the hands of Indians than a white skin firang from mafia land Itally. I dont agree--India is not a propoerty of one party.
Congress Prime Minister Manmohan the lion's share in minstry, The prove of man Mohan sing Team 2009 loksabha elction. The credit Congress President Sonia Gandhi and party General Secretary Rahul Gandhi had thrown their weight behind his candidature and have often declared that the issue is 'non-negotiable'.
Inspite of winning 206 seats, these people are not sure on how to go about the government.
Sample this with the BJP/NDA government in 1998, BJP won 189 seats formed the alliance and made the Prime Minister the head of the alliance, to maintain discipline. Mamta tried to act funny and Vajpayee showed her the door.
Still NDA govt. did not have any no confidence motions, majority proving sessions in the parliament.

The important thing is that Karunanidhi sings his own poem written in praise of LTTE, to Sonia and she remembers nothing about how our dear Rajiv Gandhi was cruelly murdered by LTTE. Sharad Pawar never supported Manmohan Singh as PM. Now he wants more ministries. Sangma who opposed Congress so vociferously, now wants his daughter to be minister. Mamata Bannerji thinks that she owns the Rly Ministry and that she has the mandate to use it solely for the Bongla region. Soon, every other remaining MP will ask for something. Such spineless, gutless people should immediately give up further talks and meetings like this and ask all these parties that they go strictly by PM`s prerogatives and nothing else. Alternatively, ask those sup0porting parties to leave UPA.
The problem with the Allies have been sorted. Now the delay is due to problem arising within the Congressmen, who are desiring the lion's share in Ministry.

Congress is the largest party in loksabha and they are entitled to largest number of ministers. Selecting 50 ministers from 200 MPs take time... (we have seen DMK with 18 seats taking one week to decide ministers from Karunanidhi's own family)

People have overwhelmingly elected Congress. It is the party's choice as to who should become minister. Party leaders take decision and it is fully justified.

Who is saying that it is not party's choice ? Has anybody said. Of course, any party forms the Govt., its men will take the ministrial oath. Why so delay ? Each second is precious for the country.

Delay by a few days does not make any difference as all key ministerial posts are already filled on the first day itself. Selecting 50 ministers from 200 MPs will take time. Moreover, the party has to ensure representation for each state, region, religion, etc. Let them take time and take good decision

There is no 'returning mandate' in democracy. You cannot overlook people's mandate. Party makes PM and ministers and it is the party, which is elected by the people and not PM.
India is a democracy and people elect political parties to form government. It is the prerogative of each party in the ruling coalition to decide on who to become a minister. Since Sonia is the president of Congress party, there is nothing to make hue & cry of Manmohan Singh's meeting with Sonia. It is not America where people elect president and president selects his ministers.

Party president is above all others... no doubt about that. The news item itself says Sonia has discussed with core group, therefore decision by individual does not arise.

Yes the party President is above all, but not of the Govt. Its PM discretion to decide for alloting the potyfolios.

PM was selected by Party and not directly elected by electorate. As party was elected by electorate, it decides on ministers and not the PM alone.

There is no question of PM's descretion here. Party has to decide on ministers and then only PM comes in the picture while deciding on portfolios.

Yes, it is a party who decides the person to be PM. Once it is decided, then PM runs the Govt. and he is the PM of India, not a party. PM has certain powers. Supposingly, if party chief conducts some misdeed, then PM has the power to enforce a law on Party President. Therefore, PM has got the authority to choose the ministries, as now he is in Govt.. Every election winner cannot be minister. As xyz has not opted for any ministry, xyz has no locus standi to interfere into PMs discretion.
