Pranab Mukherjee is a very capable man. People in the defence enclosure says that he acted very efficiently while running that ministry. The only plausible reason for his shifting may be to deal with a very complex foreign policy dynamics that India needs to cruise along. The fundamental tenet of any foreign policy dictum is to look after perpetual interest and not consistent bon homie with any particular blocs etc. The strategic leverage that India can achieve through a declining western power can not be accomplished in tying a nuptial knot with any ascending power, neither one should not confront with an emboldened growing strength.I failed to understand the logic of the main opposing force of the deal the left, more so, in the face of an 123 agreement between Russia and US where the beneficiary is China which gets enriched uranium owing to the terms and conditions of the aforesaid agreement. Now, why the hell India should not capitalize that strategic advantage? This is brazen political expediency. This happens when NATION'S AGENDA IS HIJACKED BY PERSONAL GRATIFICATIONS GIVEN AN IDEOLOGICAL TWIST. No one is a Messiah, no country is, what remains constant is PERPETUAL NATIONAL INTEREST. The whole nuclear establishment has supported the deal even Dr. Kalam endorsed it, I THINK, COME WHAT MAY CONGRESS SHOULD GO AHEAD WITH THE DEAL, IN THE AFTERMATH OF A HUNG PARLIAMENT LEFT WILL BE LEFT WITH NO OPTION BUT TO SUPPORT A CONGRESS LED GOVT. THIS IMAGE CHANGE WILL HELP CONGRESS.
