Deal in Cold Storage
Thanks messers Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi for putting the Indo-US Nuclear co-operation agreement into cold storage. You prefer to stick to your seats and power rather than keep your word and promises (Manmohan Singh had dared the left last month to pull down the government over the nuclear deal. Now he has covered down and defended his chair.)
This may encourage the Left parties to try and stop even other things like the Indo-US military co-operation. The left which has got its parliamentary seats from basically Bengal is ruining the rest of the nation. And we say that democracy is the bet system there is... a system where a minority can dictate terms.
Why dont the Left parties spell out clearly what the hell do they want to be done with India? How long do they expect India to be a laggard in terms of infrastructure? Or do they actually want India to be a laggard in these things... if poverty is reduced then who will vote for "Messiahs of the Poor"?

Lets export our Left folks to Pakistan, they have a ready ground to oppose US. or may be Iraq !!
Actually the deal was dead the moment BJP and the Left decided to oppose it. Assuming that Cong was in favor they could not have carried it off.
What could have done the trick was if left was actually bluffing and would have backed out in case Cong was determined to make the deal at any costs.
The real disappointment for me on this was BJP's attitude. They started the deal, were willing to settle for a lot less but are now opposing simply because Cong wrapped it up. And that is our problem. India's interest don't matter to any (Left/NDA/UPA), merely brownie points do.
To be honest I think Left was actually being principled here. Just that their principle is to oppose anything that can really improve the lot of poor Indians.
