Left leaders have been opposing nuke deal from the begining itself. They have a principled stand. Not like BJP - which while in power then falling on its knees in front of US for the deal and now when in opposition, then taking a different stand. Shame on unprincipled and oppurtinistic party like BJP.

dont talk nonsense when you dont know anything. when the BJP was in power, it defied the US and other Nuclear powers by going in for the nuclear tests. The entire world opinion turned against India, but BJP successfully turned it around.
The BJP is only opposing the deal, because the present deal explicitly prevents India from conducting further nuclear tests. The Congress says we dont need any further tests. But who knows how technology will evolve, wont we need further tests? How can we cap our know how at current levels and be so short sighted like the Congress usually is?

Don't forget before BJP, India burst into the nuclear club courtesy Indira Gandhi in early 70s.
The BJP succumbing to US pressure wanted to send Indian forces to Iraq. The move failed only because all other NDA allies opposed it. Still they gave US airforce rights to land for re-fuelling during the war.
The Congress is right. All nuclear powers agree that there is no need to physically test when it can be computer simulated using past test data. It was to generate such data, that the Vajpayee government continued to test bombs over sevral days. So the BJP fully this, is untruthful to the nation.

Left is not opposing the NUKE deal from the starting. If they are really against, they should have stopped the government much earlier than now. Once the government signed the deal with US then Left started opposing, until then they are just watching.

Left are principled traitors. All their positioning is for the benefit of China right from 1962 war, where they openly supported China.
