If BJP really wants to be the 'Bharat First' party that it claims to be then it shall extend an offer to work with the Congress govt in the interest of the nation. Yes, BJP should have been ruling party today and not Congress, yes MMS/Sonia should have consulted BJP while negotiating the deal. But then it is also BJP's chance to let bygones be bygones for Bharat's sake. Lets face it, if India misses this chance for back door entry to the big league then it can pretty much kiss any such entry goodbye for the next 20-30 years. Its likely that the next US president would be a democrat who would be much less inclined to complete this deal in its present form let alone agreeing to any more benefits as BJP claims it would negotiate if it comes back to power.
BJP now has the choice of either remaining as the party that would rather wallow in self-pity, bitterness and factionalism, or come to its rescue in its hour of needs and save it from the clutches of Left bullies and their cowardly Congress collaborators. BJP has little to lose by offering cooperation to the govt; OTH, BJP has much to gain in the form of nation%u2019s goodwill (who knows it may even pay rich electoral dividends as the %u2018party with a difference%u2019 in the next election). And if Congress spurns BJP%u2019s offer of help then at least the country would know which party stands where while protecting India%u2019s interests. As the architect of Pokhran II its only fitting that BJP now helps Bharat enter backdoo
