The sheer significance of the agreement calls for a final, all-out effort on the part of the ruling regime. Repeated rounds of consultations with the Left parties will not yield any other results than the ones that have been obtained. They are merely playing for time while ensuring that the deal does not move forward. Instead, once again, Manmohan Singh needs to display a degree of verve and steadfastness. Beyond helping assuage India's acute energy shortfalls, the agreement holds the promise of much-needed investment flows, infusions of new technology (long barred thanks to existing American legislation) and a dramatic contribution to mutual trust, a commodity that has been severely attenuated in the last few days."
