Left have earlier been threatening the UPA Government. Only some of the times the Government have conceded the Demands of the Left. The Congress have heeded to such demands from other parties as well.
But certainly, by showing to outside world that the government was listening to these demands, and painting them as wholly unjust, the government is cleverly steering through these road blocks.
Signing the Document is considered to be helping the Congress Party in the next Elections. And the same is believed to be murdering the prospects of the Left parties in general. BJP is opposing to it because their advantages would also reduced to a great extent if the deal is signed before the Election. It is needless to say that BJP will surely be signing the deal if it is not signed by the present government, anyway.
By demanding certain thing such as these cripple the functioning of the government, which in turn would narrow down the prospects of these parties themselves, in the elections. At least it is considered so.
It is a fact that the Congress government is proceeding with caution with the N-Deal. And it is also waiting for the opportune moment to sign the deal. This will enable them to get themselves prepared for the impending election which by any means is not very far.
