Thanks to PM
by optimist on Jun 20, 2008 07:33 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Thanks to diplomatic and political skills of President Bush and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, we have a deal which could lift India into the Trillion-dollar club, faster. They both have worked hard. Ten years from now when electricity supply situation in India’s households, industry and farms is significantly better, we have to thank them both.

the deal in its current form is not only lop-sided but is also unduly favorable to US. while a deal is definitely important in the long-term interests of India...it has to be re-negotiated with due cognisance to India's standing in the world. We are not a Puppet state...though the PM gives that impression when he's before Madame..!!

this just US trying to play the lame-duck a very common negotiation tactic...understand that US call ill-afford to ignore India with a growing might of China and relatively unstable Pakistan- Afghanistan-gulf is in no position to say no to India's demands..!

we definitely need the deal but not in its current form.
