If the BJP has any principle, they must now issue a statement that they would support the nuclear deal, as they only had initiated it , notwithstanding the fact that if they had the opportunity, they would have finalised the deal in a more advantageous manner. THey would have commanded a lot of respect . But, now, their opposition to the Deal, exposes them to the charge that they are opportunistic.

If you go to buy a house, you necessarily don't have to buy it unless you are ok with the terms and conditions. The seller cannot say that if you have principles then you should buy the house because you initiated it. That is a dumb argument.

I can understand why you are critcizing the BJP-your name itself makes it plain!Please understand BJP is not opposed to the nuclear deal but for the main flaw in it-viz.we will loose our soverignity!India cannot test any future nuclear bomb for its own security else the agreement will become null and void and we will have to return all nuclear equipments back to America!But America can do whatever it likes in its interest!!What a balanced agreement-well only congress coolies of the west can accept this as in our national interest!

- Bajpayee announced to the World that India will not carry further tests. Did you object then ?

What an absurd logic . Vajpayee as Indian PM has all the right to say that India, his country will not carry out further tests. But asking India to give a written undertaking to a man ,who sits in the WhiteHouse and has no right over this country, is different matter . Not deciding to test and giving aay the right to test for ever are two matter!
