Whatever the realpolitik, the BJP shouldn't ever support the Left but the Congress on the nuke deal. Understandng and cooperation between the two mainstream parties is called for in the national interests. After all, the Left has been long since sold out to China. If there is a broader agreement and coordination between the Cong and the BJP on broader issues of national importance, it would augur well for our democracy and help in isolating the Left and cutting it to size.
