India needs the nuclear deal as much as anything. USA is a declining power and it has reached it's peak. India can make use of the deal given the USA's current position. When India grows in power and stature, the rules of NSG become less effective. Let's work towards that and congratulate the PM for the deal and wish it goes through all the necessary clearances.

India gets uranium even without any deal. Russia has offered four nuclear plant and uninterrupted supply of nuclear fuel. Why does India have to get tied up with IAEA.

Yes Russia and any other country, including the US would like to supply unlimited nuclear products. But that is on the assumption we would sign the deal and get clearance from the NSG.
So NSG clearance is a must. Other friendly countries may like Russia and France may have a deal with us on conditions less strigent than those signed with India while countries like Australia may do on conditions even more stringent than with the US.
Without the US support, there is no way we can get NSG clearance

Congress has no knowledge about their alliance:
Congress worked as a goon against SP of Mulayam Singh in UP just before the Elections. Congress removed RJD of Laloo from government in the name of lack of development. Congress worked as a goon against NCP of Sharad Pawar, however they got more seats than Congress in Maharashtra Congress worked as a goon against JD(S) in Karnataka and it was not ready to give anything Congeess worked as a goon in J&K against PDP and played politics of appeasement. CONGRESS IMPOSED ANTI-PEOPLE POLICY AGAINST INDIAN PEOPLE AND BRUTALITY AGAINST THE LEFT, HOWEVER LEFT WANTED SOME PRO-PEOPLE WORK FROM CONGRESS.

Indian nuclear reactors are running at 30-40% of their capacity due to lack of availability of nuclear fuel. Russia can help only when the NSG clearance is made.

That is because of incompetency of Kangressi and propaganda that 'nuclear plants are running 50% because of lack of fuel' so that India is forced to sign. how come this was not an issue in the previous government?
