Guys like Yaswant Sinha do not take any issue because of conviction, even he is in BJP because of opportunism, not because he believes in BJP ideology, the party offers ready made cadre based support and some mass base, that is why he is in BJP. Now he is opposing N-deal on the basis of hollow and shallow, just to make his presence felt.

By your own argument, the alliance between Congress and Communists is just another example of opportunitism. By virtue of this, the PM does not have a right to finalise such a deal.

You mean progress should stop if we have a coalition Govt.
I am happy atleast MM Singh discussed and took the Nuclear issue to a workable stage.
If it fails to operationalise, as Indian I have no regrets. I can afford Gasoline at 100Rs per litre and electricity at 10 Rs per unit but I will like to see how these commies handle masses , when they cry foul on Electricity shortage and also what answer BJP has at that time.
MM Singh worked within legal frame work of Indian constitution to finalise the deal.
These are all afterthoughts to have the deal discussed on the floor of Parliaments.
If all these politicians are so concerned about Indian Masses than they should have first corrected the constitution and made it mandatory to discuss such deals in the parliament ( as is done in US).
Why BJP or Commies are not moving o those Lines.
In future what happens if Future PM has to decide a critical deal with Russia.
More recently why 347 T90 Repeat Tank order was allowed to be placed on Russia without disscussing in parliament. Deal is in billions. Why no tenders were floated

Did Sinha mention anywhere that he's opposing the nuke deal ? He's saying that India bowed out to the USA pressure, otherwise we had the reactors deal with russia. He seems to be correct in saying that becoz indians went to Russia with the deal papers etc, that means they were ready. The what couold go wrong at that moment ?

gentleman when Putin came to India in Jan or Feb 2007, 4 more reactors were agreed. BUT with a rider that we will go through IAEA.
Also remeber that Russia pushes India towards signing NPT!! That will mean total submission.
Right now Russia is not a Uranium source it supplies uranium after buying and cocentarting it.
So India has to agree and set deals with Westren world. Both India & Russia Knows that.
