This is the same prime minister who tried to bluster his way to get the deal. Sidelined all important political parties including his allies, BJP etc that were neccessary to pass this national deal. Its a deal between nations and not between the INC and the republican party. Contrast the approach of the normally high-falutin republican administration with its opponents on this opposed to that of Mr Singh. Had he agreed to an up and down parliamentary vote, this deal would have been passed. Instead now he is forced to eat crow. Not only on this but also on the important second tranche of reforms has this PM failed to deliver. For some claiming to initiate the first phase of reforms he surely didnt even try this time. He and his italian mami have been caught trying to bluster and that too by the pinko's. Not only on this but also on nepal he gave in to the pinko's. Unbelievable, this is the worst prime minister ever.

Instead of giving up he should have tried to get some points cleared from the deal and seek NDA's support to go through. But he has no courage of keeping his earlier stand. This is why I call him Woman Mohan Singh. He is good only to lick chappals of Sonia Maino.

You guys are also talking on the same lines as the LEFT parties. You are making this into an EGO issue and forgetting that the Nuclear Deal is an important one for the country. Has anyone looked at the positives that we will derive out of the deal? I am not saying that we must not safeguard the security of our country, but at the same time do not just reject a deal because you are in a position to topple the government. The power (read electricity) situation in the country is worsening day by day and the nuclear deal help us use nuclear power to solve the problem. In the greater interest of the nation, stop playing petty politics and allow the deal to go through.

No to built a nuclear site will take minimum 6 years provided you have already identified it with all the geological survey. The on the site will be reactors place so another 5 to 7 years to built the reactor and about 6 months to commercially produce the Electricity. Simultenously the govt has to start building the power grid to distribute the electricity. Till then the cost of Uranium and Plutonium will have reached a new high as China has started acquiring all the uranium mines in Africa and Eastern Europe so by the time we have the reactory producing the electricity the 123 agreement terms ends giving more force to USA to bind a new agreement to feed the giant we have brought from them. Common sense it more profitable to America than India, this same period can be used to develop our own capability give what our scientist demand and see the results. I am sure Indian will come up with a much better and cost effective solution.
