If Advani ji had not been the P.M. in waiting and some one else instead were the aspirant for the P.M. post, even Advani ji would have voted in favour of the Nuke Deal. Also, but for his allegiance to the Party and not to let down his long time assiciate, 'The P.M. in waiting', , even BJP Patriarch Atalji would have voted for the Deal. Therefore, those BJP MPs who have voted for the Deal against Party's whip need to be congratulated for being visionaries and keeping Country's interests above petty party politics and party interests.
BJP, as Advani ji openly stated, is not against the Deal and would renegotiate and sign the Deal. This clearly shows that the BJP and particularly Advani ji cannot consume the fact that Congress and particularly Dr. Manmohan Singh is going to take credit for the Deal mooted by the BJP. Advani ji would have been happy if BJP were able to take the credit and Advani ji had himself signed the Deal.
