As usual RS appears to grasp and retain only what his fundamental brain can assimilate. NOT ONCE - not once has he mentioned about the division of Nuclear facilities into defence and Civilian - the fact that only a list of Civilian facilities handed over to the IAEA will come under the purview of inspection and other safeguards that he talks about. He has also not 'noticed' that India's planned production of 10,000MW of power by Nuclear methods have fallen far short of the target at only 2000MW. He has not highlighted the low plight of energy needs in rural India and the fact that because of the 'greatest achievement' of the NDA of exploding Nuclear devises the entire technology and supply of quality uranium was banned to India resulting in the near crippling of our Nuclear facilities.
Other than griping and whinging - in line with the Opposition who have taken their nomenclature seriously and oppose everything even when it gets them a bloody nose-he has not come up with intelligent ideas or alternatives!How can he really when all his brain cells are attuned to hatred of Minorities and any government that is mature enough and at least appears to protect them from the goons of the Sangh Parivar. There have been grave miscarriages of justice now too towards the minorities but at least there is no State Patronage to the lumpen elements as we have seen in Gujarat.
It's time to grow up Rajeev. Improve your writing skills so that there are not so many glaring holes in them

Nuclear power wont even support 10% of our total demand at its best plus importing tech. and fuel comes with heavy price tag and kickbacks too.

Myth #11: India needs more nuclear power to assure its energy future.
Fact: Nuclear power has been virtually insignificant in India’s energy mix in the past, and will be no more important in the future. India has been generating electricity with nuclear reactors for more than 40 years. Yet, reactors supply only 2% to 3% of its electricity today. India has not built more reactors because they have not turned out to be as safe, or as clean, or – most important – as economical as originally thought. Even if India were to achieve a 50% increase in nuclear power generation (which is unlikely) such a step would only increase India’s overall electricity output by one percent at most, and would only increase India’s overall energy output by a fraction of one percent. That is not a significant increase in the energy available to India and would not decrease India’s demand for oil and gas.
