Nuclear Deal is pro-country. I understand Left Party's concern as this deal will establish India as a credible deterrant against their Masters at China, but how come Mr. Advani and party going against the deal? When will the Indian parties mature and understand what is in the interest of the country?

its not that BJP is against the deal, totally. They are not aggreeing to the deal in its present format, which prohibits india to conduct any further nuclear test after signing the deal. Infact its the BJP who first proposed the deal when they were in power.

Yes, BJP are not against the deal, but they oppose to the 'credit' that will go to UPA.

In fact, if BJP were in power, they would have passed the deal too. I guess they just don't want to give the credit to the UPA government for finishing the task - so they're just opposing for name-sake.

I also do not think that BJP would not have gone ahead with the deal. The issue is the Govt has not taken its poeple (parliament ) into confidence while going ahead with it. There are parts of the deal which have not been shared. Both our current Govt and US are in tearing hurry to close the deal which is making the people suspicious. Also the claims that Govt is making to push the deal are frivilous , cheaper options like hydro exist but Govt does not wants to tap it.

Define "Govt has not taken its poeple (parliament ) into confidence...!" What people and what representative...? HUH?
Have u guys ever thought We (General Public) are made to dance by 543 Clowns who are approved/endorsed by just 15-20% of the whole population of the country?
Amazed?
Lemme Enlighten U...!
Lets say there are 4-5 parties at an average in a particular constituency OK? Lets take the whole population in that constituency as 100% out of which polling rate is just 70 % which means 30 % dont vote, say Party-A Gets 13% votes, Party-B gets 18%, Party-C gets 11%, Party-D gets 13% & Party-E gets 15% from the total 100% votes... So by virtue Party-B wins in that constituency.
How would u call it as a democracy when just a mere 18% of people from a constituency endorses a person/party, since 30% didn't vote, rest all 52% voted against this party and still this party goes on to rule with such authority till the next term...?
Don't u think we all are taken for a ride here? Rewrite the constitution & India can be free for real...! Else we all are doomed...!

Considering the speed of our representatives (Lok Sabha), if all the pages in the deal were shared, they would take at least 10 years to finish reading it! Won't they?
