Why is rediff wasting so much time on guessing what will left do on 123 deal? It is quite clear and evident that they are not going to agree to it till they hear from their bosses from across the border - China. It is a known fact since 1962 that their loyalties lie more with their neigbours (read China) than the motherland.
Every sensible Indian (and political parties) knows and understands how critical this deal is for india to combat its energy crisis in the long run except the commies... and even they dont know one other reason besides chinese opposition to it for obvious reasons.
Show them the door in the next election and Indian growth story will be back on track!!
