Save UPA Government
by Khangembam Romesh on Jul 21, 2008 05:31 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Looking at the present scenario, the political crisis created by BJP and leftist has no value in the sense that there is the need of stability of the present government. Economy is still under inflationary pressure. Trying to topple the government at this stage is not a better option. At the same time, the nuclear option is important for India's future. The supreme importance the Indo-US nuclear deal is of the essential to provide energy security for the long run. It would be absolutely useful to solve the problem of power to come in India's future. More demand for energy is placed on our country for future energy supply. Based on the expert committee report, the estimated power needed by India would be at 960,000MW by 2031-32. There is no doubt that coal is the most easiest and cheapest option for energy. Though, as coal reserve deplete the coal-based-power production will not able to handle the situation in future decades. The extractable coal reserve may not last long. Another better and more accessible option than nuclear power is solar energy. But there is no certainty for solar energy to become the source of the future. Yet nobody knows if the technology can be scaled up, work in cloudy countries, or overcome maintenance issues. So, in such circumstances Indo-US nuclear deal becomes essential option for providing energy security for long term benefit. It is the best interest of the country. Benefits that India can reap from Indo-US nuclear deal will reveal in future.

So why did not Manmohan just table the Nuclear deal for a YES/NO vote instead of all this tamasha? If majority voted YES, fine and if Manjority Voted No, then so be it. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..They wanted to just push it in Cabinet only. Never wanted your ELECTED representatives to have a SAY in it. So please pull head out of your rear and ponder why they didn't do what I said above. Its because of idiots like you who don't understand Democracy but bark like dogs on blogs is the reason for this pitiful situation

Yeah. You are right. Ther is no certainty in Solar energey. But YES. There is certainiy in Nuclear power because the World will never get exhausted of Uranium. You know Uranium grows on plants. And when denamd increases for Uranium, US wil take steps to sell it for reduced prices for India alone. And YES there is ONE more real possibility with Nuclear POWER. LEAKED RADIATION. We cant take of pitiful Methane at Union Carbide but yet we are going to take care of Nuclear radiation.

Mr. Philo, UPA Government is democratic government, government of people representatives, formed by the support the majority of elected MPs. The government has cabinet. I guess you must know what the cabinet mean. The foremost necessary is the approval of the cabinet. Why should it be table unnecessarily?

Philo,
Do you still believe in these bunch of jokers, sorry, "your ELECTED representatives"?
how many of these you think had read the treaty properly or in fact know what a nuclear deal is about?
As for you, do you know by signing this treaty, we are not only get uranium but also the technique for non-uranium based reactors for which the raw material is in abundant supply in India.
most of the people coming and writing in these blogs have there own openion, you too one of them.. so be polite if u need respect from others.
