UPA wants to ensure that all of its MP s take part in FDI voting and support the bill, which will be tabled this evening. Over the same, big wigs in Delhi have been convincing many of its MP s, who are apparently unhappy over many things, for taking part in voting today. While prime minister Manmohan Singh himself plunged into action and asked one of the MP s Kavuri Sambasiva Rao to come to Delhi and support the bill, union home minister started to convince MP s from Telangana region.

The sources said Shinde promised MP s that an all party meet would be convened on Telangana issue soon. The same was confirmed by MP s Ponnam Prabhakar and Madhu Yashki to the media. They said the meeting would be held after parliament sessions conclude. All in all, it looked like MP s made right use of the timing.
