Atal Bihari Vajpayee Speech : Here Comes My Resignation, Mr. Speaker! “I am being asked how many percentage votes did you get but the Westminister method we have adopted, we don’t look at percentage of votes, we look at seats, you can’t have it both ways... It has happened many times that a party that has not won a plurality of votes but has won more seats... We have to only go by the number of seats and not by the percentage votes, we don’t count negative votes in our parliamentary system... How can you say the mandate is against us, when we were not even a player in many states like Tamil Nadu, Andhra, and the fight was between those of you who have now gotten together to oppose us. I have spent decades doing this, but today I have been at the receiving end of much personal criticism... I thank the mere four parties that stood by me, including the Shiv Sena and the Akali Dal, despite everyone else ganging up against us... I have been accused that I am craving for power and that my actions are a result of my craving for power... If the people have given my party the highest number of seats should I shy away from staking a claim for power... Should I run away from the battlefield to betray the confidence reposed by the people in making us the single largest party...? Jayaram Prakash https://youtube/watch?v=NPuhM_x__Cs
