There is nothing wrong if CPI(M) vote along with the BJP. They did that before. in 1977 Morarji Desai government has survived because the LEFT was supporting it from outside, when Vajpayee was the foreign minister.
This is a national issue: (a) whether India would retain nuclear weapons to give up to satisfy American demand; (b) whether India will retain an independent foreign policy or it will be reduced to Thailand or Kenya.
India gains nothing from this 123 Dances; American Energy companies will gain. Just like ENRON , they will come to India to offer their junk nuclear plant at a high cost and just like ENRON they will run away without producing anything or just like UNION CARBIDE kill several thousands people.

LEFT expects that The Congress after its defeat will drop MM Singh and after the new election, there will be again Congress-LEFT government. Very few people in The Congress support MM Singh, so he can be discarded. This is the expectation of the LEFT.

I fear that you have got more knowledge than Dr. Kakodkar (Top nulear scientist), Dr. Manmohan Singh (Economist), Brajesh Mishra (Advisor to Vajpayee), or Ratan Tata (Industrialist). I do not know much abt the deal, but I have learnt to listen to the wise people.

I am leaving ina small village. you can come here and stay 1 day without power and then you told me nuclear deal you want or not. It easy to say "to to satisfy American demand". No one can give you in free of cost. You friend or your bloody Karat's Friends (China) also not given anything without something. if we have to servive we have to produce the energy and right now india isnot capable to produce lot of enery. He has to take help from other nation. If you donot like USA say take help of China. But dont say it's not an national issue.

Electricity in India is being produced by coal and hydro electric, not by nuclear which contribute only 2.6 percent of the total. Even if shut down all nuclear plants, only a few people in Tamil Nadu( where most of the plants are located) will be affected. Electricity can be produced by many other ways, nuclear is the most expensive option and that option is already available independent of the Americans since 1968 ( when USA asked India to sign NPT, and then USA imposed sanctions against India). So even without 123 dances There can be nuclear power plants from Russia, which has helped India for the last 40 years.
However, electricity production is not the issue. Nuclear weapon is the issue. USA wants to destroy India's nuclear weapons, it is trying very hard since Clinton came into power. Bush is trying differently and he got his agent in India, MM Singh and his associates.
