Left is right that the n-deal differences cannot be reconciled. Actually the left is not concerned with the 123 text . Their main concern is to safegaurd Chinese interest from the increasing U.S. influence in the region . Countries like Japan, Australia , Korea etc. with strong economies are already U.S. allies in the region .So our left feels duty bound to check any similar U.S. ties with India that will go against China. So what even if China wants to gobble up whole of Arunachal.(Of course this is not to suggest that India should become a u.s. ally or crony) ! Further , left dreads the very thought of India voting against Iran in future in the U.N. for obvious reasons.
Leaving aside the n-deal , i personally feel the 'CMP%u2019 arrangement itself is basically flawed as the left is not part of the govt. It only implies power for left without responsibility. Do the left realize that if only left were part of the UPA govt. from the begining, possibly the n-deal would not have materialised or may be the left could have taken care of the 'strategic partnership' aspects beforehand ? So, the left have to blame themselves for the current situation. Left wants to have the cake and eat it too. Either the CMP should be scrapped or the left should be kept out of its bound.
