Possibly, probably the Left parties' stand may be not good for the nation in this matter.
But how come we have reached such a situation? By all accounts, it appears that the Prime Minister has taken the Left parties for granted presuambly for the TINA factor. When it is known that he can not run the Govt without their support, how come he didn't consult them (nitty gritty is not possible, of course! but the broad consensus or view points should not be difficult to get!)
Either it smacks of arrogance or ineptitude; given his personality I guess it's the latter!
If Manmohan Singh can not win over his allies in the Govt., how can he win over opposition, particularly in matters of importance and longevity such as 123 Agreement? International agreements such as this need need successive governments willingness to honour their previous governments commitments to international accords. Forget about winning the main opposition party BJP's approval he could not even win over his own allies. His displayed body language while briefing former PM Vajpayee has displayed it all-"Take it or leave it, I have gone ahead!"
He can neither win over the Opposition Right Wing Parties nor Allies Left Wing Parties! Neutral? perhaps, in every sense! Middle of the Road approach? We all know what happens to those who stand in the middle of the road-They get run over! It seems that is the fate awaiting his govt- And he deserves it.
PM must be from Lok Sabha and a man/woman from publiclif
