is he voting for the UPA to keep the BJP away or believes in the benefits of the nuclear deal for india.
is there no politician who can take a decision based on what is good for the country and not for religion/community, i agree all these are mixed up in indian policitics, but for once, just once in their life can't they show some backbone....if the deal is bad let the UPA fall, if not support should be across party lines
in my personal opinion, if the UPA wins the trust vote on 22nd, the prime minister should make a public statement on the deal and then the government should resign, call for fresh election and go back to the people of india asking for a mandate specifically for the nuclear deal...
ah well guess it's too much to ask from these power hungry politicians

The trust vote is about the govt proving its claim to rightfully continue the govt,by virtue of having majority. Nuclear deal is entirely a different issue. It is the power vested in the govt thru which they can make deals, nuclear or otherwise, with other govts or similar bodies. We can continue to discuss the merits/demerits of the nuclear deal for any length of time.
