This is confusing, whom to trust. Supporters or opposer.
Left NDA - why would they spend money to bring govt down especially when they need this money for elections just a yr ahead.
UPA allies - spending money for buying MP's if the article is true.
Look at Mulayam singh - this person didn't know what is a deal for 2 yrs (ever since it's been discussed) but could understood everything in 45 mins meeting with APJ Kalam. => He's definitely not supporting for India's energy needs but his "own".
Why congress pushing deal before US/Indian electoin - one reason could be if deal is really good for India, new US govt may want to amend it. If Cong doesn't come in power in next election, BJP taking credit of passing deal is unlikely after current havoc.
A logical answer to push for deal by cong. may be India really don't have Uranium & there are less chances of actually using nukes unless it's 3rd war in next 50 yrs. I agree that we want to advance in weapons like develop a light weapon (low yield) that would just destroy desired area & a delivery system that would not be detected when loaded & fired. But then, is it really worth for mere 6% of energy usage in next 15 yrs? that too when Iran gas pipeline is moving ahead - an alternative source?
US is not a friend of anyone - for sure!! Those people who think there exist a world beyond US, how can they think good for a country that was in the was in the group of Russia for last 20 yrs of cold war.

US is neither a friend and a foe. That is a Sovereign State with their own rules. They have their own ethics of life. India is another country with our own rules. We have our own ethics of life. When two countries make a declaration make sure that they do not disown their ethics. Live and let live should be the approach. Both are Sovereign States. Any agreement signed should uphold the sovereignty of both. This is twenty first century and not the medieval period. If India's rulers think like banana republics of the 1960s they are wrong. They will have to answer to the people every five years. Now it is noted that the deal is almost sealed. I doubt a Hitler is born. Sign anything anywhere without people's mandate. The technicality of 'CONFIDENCE VOTE' has no meaning. Hope the congress will escape from the hold of the dictator!! Read more ...
