It doesn't matter how he did it, but the fact is he was able to get the N-deal through with or without Left. Thats a bg achievement considering the situation he was in the past 2 years. Congrats to PM in getting the N-deal see light. He showed courage that was lacking for many PMs. Last time I saw courage in a PM was when Vaypayee detonated N -bomb without the world having a hint about it.
