Firm commitment?

It would be a good thing if CPI goes ahead. Better be it that they bring a motion in Parliament for a vote on it. And then Vote against the deal. If someone is to lose most, it will certainly be the Left Parties, if election takes place.

The CPI is not doing the analysis right. The question they have to answer first is as to where and how India would get the required energy generated. Had it been their government at the centre, they would have thought in the same line as the Congress is doing now and as the BJP did in the recent past.

By Blackmailing, the CPI and the Left Parties are putting the entire country's energy situation in grave risk.

They have to spell out clearly as to how they think of solving the bleak scenario looming large in the near future. Surely we can not have any major Dams Constructed nor we can heavily depend on the depleting coal reserve. And with a large energy requirement in very near future - to light 50% of the villages who are not yet connected and to feed the industry in this rapidly expanding economy - even the nuclear power we are envisaging to put up through the 123 Deal, would only be a small fraction of the total requirement.

Certainly, the Left Parties are going to force us for an eighteen-hours-a-day power cut era.

So it would be better they withdraw their support and let us have a government that would not be in the mercy of the Left Parties, and hence their blackmailing in most matters.
