It is amusing to find still some people opposing nuclear power deal when we in AP are facing 4 hours powercut due to lack of rains.we definetly need nuclear power to offset the vagaries of nature effected hydropower. Further, AP itself is implimenting large scale pumping projects for irrigation in rayalaseema and telangana regions.From where are we going to get power? Further the proposed ganga kaveri link requires enormous power to pump water to southern states besides irrigating the upland areas of north. Industry is starving for power. If America is going to help us to overcome this problem, why should we oppose ? China became super power due to its friendship with USA developed duing Nixon days.why should we also not build up good relationship with America. No body can question prime minister's intellectual brains.When he went for liberalisation during his stint as finance minister , the communists made hue and cry. To day's booming software industry and export oriented industries prove his foresight when he liberalised economy.prime minister is extremely honest, patriotic , sincere, highly efficient and humble. The mejority of population is for nuclear deal.BJP will suffer the most if elections are held today due its idiotic turn around on nuclear deal. At least now, MPs belonging to parties opposing nuclear deal should exercize their conscience in supporting confidence motion and save the future power security of the nation.

Same problem happens in other cities also. Clearly India has a lot of shortage of power. Generally the people who are opposing this deal come up with mis-informed reasons like: - World Uranium deposits will end by 2030 - US wants to sell off old equipment to India - India has enough Uranium till 2010. Then there are unfounded and baseless conspiracy theories such as: - Kalam and SP leader went to US some time back guess why? - India will loose it independence. - India's domestic program will be hurt. - Manmohan wants to sell India. - Many others.
None of their opposition is actually based on facts.
You are right about BJP. I hold Vajpayee in great respect and think he was a great leader but this un-reasonable turnaround has made BJP fall big time in my eyes.

I totally agree with Satyanand Rao. What is the idea of having a say in international matters when we live in darkness for hours together in our homes. No electricity - no water, no nothing. Let the left parties change their symbol to a lantern, for that is what they want Indians to use. All parties are deceiving the aam aadmi for their selfish short time gains. The people of India will punish them at the next polls. How come TRS has not yet realized that aam aadmi of Telangana does not want a separate Telangana. Did he not get the people's verdict during the assembly polls held a few months back? He just wants to sit on the CMs Gaddi in his dreamworld of Telangana State. Does he have a blueprint to show how a separate Telangana can survive without the backing of the income got from the Andhra region? Some politicians are truly scoundrels. They must be ridiculed publicly and their bluff must be called. I hope and pray that the PM will get the trust vote that he desires. Advaniji, this is called a tough PM.
