both left n BJP were opposing congress... left has a reason:US BJP has a reason: congress. both have decided long back to oppose congerss party. nothing strange in it. this happened even before during narasimha rao's govt. bjp was the opposition party. on many things which bjp opposed, left was also opposing it, just because being in the opposition they are all used to opposing for the sake of opposing. just see if BJP comes to power, they will see to that the deal is pushed through by hook or crook, just becuase it is now their turn to push it through.
