Same problem happens in other cities also. Clearly India has a lot of shortage of power. Generally the people who are opposing this deal come up with mis-informed reasons like: - World Uranium deposits will end by 2030 - US wants to sell off old equipment to India - India has enough Uranium till 2010. Then there are unfounded and baseless conspiracy theories such as: - Kalam and SP leader went to US some time back guess why? - India will loose it independence. - India's domestic program will be hurt. - Manmohan wants to sell India. - Many others.
None of their opposition is actually based on facts.
You are right about BJP. I hold Vajpayee in great respect and think he was a great leader but this un-reasonable turnaround has made BJP fall big time in my eyes.
