forget ramu kaka. who in the world is you? not a great example i should say. manmohan singh might not have gone ahead with reforms had it not been under the cover of narasimharao agreed. so you agree to the fact that the reforms were a good thing after all. here again he might not go ahead with the nuclear deal without support and thats the reason he is asking for it. He has been the RBI governer , finance minsiter, Prime minister. Now what more could be his ambition. At his level he would surely understand he does something right for the country he will be remembered for ages and if not he will be scorned and spat at. dont you think there would be some weight in what he is saying. especially with crude at these levels and our bio fuel situation is quite pathetic doesnt it take drastic steps to counter the energy crisis. What better technology than nuclear to counter the gap for the time being till we build our capabilities on other alternate energy sources / conversions. On one side we oppose price hikes of conventional fuel on the other hand we do not agree to look at nuclear energy. I do agree there are long term bads for the nuclear energy but can it be looked at in the light of the current situation. If that be the case isnt it only right we go ahead with the deal which gives us more leeway in terms of procurement of nuclear fuel from different sources and also access to better technology from the more advanced nuclear nations. whats the flip side?
