Omar Adbullah Minister of State of External Affairs of the then NDA government went to record on last night's Big Fight (NDTV.
1. The NDA Govt was negotiating a similar treaty 2. The terms of which were perceptibly worse 3. Though the terms were perceptibly worse, the NDA was prepared to sign.
Further Talbot, US Ambassador at the time of the NDA tenure, in a book revealed that the NDA government had secret negotiations with the US to sign NPT, CTBT, viz. internationally agreeing to permanently give up our rights to test a nuclear bomb.
If Talbot's book is not be tobelieved, then the official recordings of Vajpayee (1999) and Jaswant Singh (2000) speeches to the Gen Assembly of the UN. They promised that India would unilaterally and permanently gave up its right to test.
So who is anti-Hindu, anti-India? Who is opposing an agreement that is termed anti-Muslim and appeasing Mullahs. It is clear that BJP-NDA was always anti-national and that is why they find common ground with a Chinese centered Left/

Energy needs of India are increasing exponentially. India would require 500-600 thousand MW of power by 2030 up from 132,110 at present. Thus nuclear power is one of the way forward for India to bridge this gap.
After oil, natural gas prices are next identified by global speculators for cascading price spiral. Economies of states like Gujarat who are significantly dependent on natural gas are going to shortly take a huge hit.
Increased price of oil and gas internationally, issues of climate change associated with coal as well as the breakdown of consensus on big dams has forced the country to re-look the viability of nuclear power.
So the next time we experience load shedding, power cuts, when our industrial growth plunges for lack of power, when our agricultural growth plunges because farmers cannot power their gen-sets, accentuating global inflationary pressures etc we will know who to spit on?
Advani and Prakash Karat and their respective parties are going to end up hate symbols among common people of India

I reiterate there is no guarantee in life. Just as there exists a possibility that the UPA and Left will come together post-poll, there exists the possibility of Mayawati and Jayalaithaa tying up with the BJP though they repeaetdly ditched the BJP.
While we cannot forecast the future, we can anticipate future by extrapolating current trends and plan accordingly. This is called vision. In the 80s and 90s, the equity market differentiated old economy and new economy(internet,IT). So old economy stocks and business lost their market valuation. The Ambanis, Tatas and Mittals began to use old valuation to buy companies cheap and expand capacities. Today they are laughing all the way to the bank while the fate of new economy stocks hang in the balance.
This is called vision. This MMS demonstrated he had in good measure in the 90's. Then you knickerwallahs and commies ganged up to call him a US stooge. A decade later, his steps turned visionary. So the trust in his judgment in the field of energy security.
On the other hand we cannot trust the judgment of Karat who sided with China in the Indo-China war or Advani who eulogized Jinnah as a patriot, nationalist and secularist. These are men with stunted vision. One fettered by blind ideology, and the other conditioned by his greed to occupy the PM's chair.

As he said, there are no guarantees in life, but we do take insurance policies for accidents and evetualities.
We have to look at what our requirements may be in the future and how we will meet them. Some will be met from CURRENT sources, some from KNOWN sources and some from FUTURE sources. Future sources are still not there as yet. Present sources are not sufficient and that leaves KNOWN sources as insurance until FUTURE sources are developed.

Left were good for the governance of India. They made UPA think on issues, debated them in coordination committee meetings. They became a good Checks & Balance System when there is none in the Parliamentary system.
What was wrong is that they started blackmailing and 59 people started dictating 226. They forgot it is not China, It is a democracy.
