The end of days for the Indian government!

It seems that the current Indian government may face elections sooner than ever, it is caught between a rock and a very immovable hard Left. Whichever decision it undertakes vis-a-vis the Nuclear deal, it has to alienate some of its so called allies.
Lets all take a breather and take a look at this deal, first of all, is this deal good for India - although most of the educated populace may say no at the first time as I was of the same opinion the ground reality is that India is not going to get any deal better than this. That is the nub of the matter, no one is going to step forward and say that India is a nuclear power and we are okay with India building up its nuclear arsenal. So in the long run of things, this deal is the best thing that has happened to India seeing that we do not have that many deals knocking on our front door.

The Russians had offered a similar deal but without the 'yea' of the NSG group so even if the prime minister had gone ahead and signed that deal with the Russians, the NSG group would have blocked it. The Russians would not have lost anything much by that deal getting blocked but our credibility would have hit rock bottom and we may as well forget getting that clearance in the near future.
The Left parties, the allies of the current government seem to be only good at one thing and that is sowing destruction wherever they go to. Take the case of Nandigram, we all know that they were behind the whole dastardly affair, but did the CPI[m] leader have the courtesy to even offer a simple apology, NO, he did not. All he said was that the nandigram villagers were paid with the same coin and this comment came from the chief minister ruling that state. This should tell you about the mentality of the Left parties. Currently they are busy blackmailing the current Congress government and they have warned the Congress party publicly that if they do not toe the Left's line regarding the Americans and the Indo - U.S nuclear deal, then they, the Left parties will withdraw support to the current government and that they would have to face general elections sooner than later.

The Left parties seem to think that they can get away with anything, and now they are trying to impress their ideology of hating anything to do with the west on the entire nation. The Congress party is under pressure to put up with the Left but there is a limit and it has been reached a long time ago. No one with backbone would put up with the antics of the Left parties and the time has come to show the Left parties to take the road. Of course, it would mean that we all would have to face general elections again but that is okay if it means that the left will have no more say in the running of this country.
The Congress party has to realise that the longer they put up with the left parties, they are only tarnishing their own image and it is high time that they stood up for what they believe in.

BJP will support the U.S-India nuke deal?

The BJP party is redefining its stand on the Indo-U.S nuclear deal. As the Left parties, the coalition partners of the ruling Congress party is opposed firmly to anything American, the BJP party which has already been pro-US may just well support the deal.
This puts the BJP, the opposition in the Parliament, in a kind of a quandary.
They are the opposition, and the deal has been finalised by their arch rivals, the Congress party and now, should they oppose the deal on principle or support the deal because it is in the national interest to do so.
Well, today the BJP answered this interesting question in not so many words and it seems that they may well support this deal, provided the Congress party clarifies their queries and makes a firm commitment that this deal will not cap India's development.
The Indian public, by and large realise that Communism as an ideology and as a principle has no place in the modern era. What is more, the Indian public is extremely annoyed by the Left parties with their antiquated logic and worthless policy decisions. As such, the BJP parties may realise that the anger of the people against the Left parties is growing and they may want to score some 'brownie points' by appearing as the good guys who managed to save the day. So this may be why the BJP is softening to the Indo-U.S nuke deal!

Burns increasing the pressure on India!

Burns, the US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, is increasing the pressure on India as the ruling Congress party is mulling its options. I for one would not fancy being in the Prime Minister's shoes at the moment, not with the pressure that he is currently facing. Nicholas Burns, is slowly but surely turning the screws on India so as to ensure that the Nuclear deal does go through. George Bush needs at least one successful policy decision in his kitty and this is it.

If the Nuke deal falls flat, then Georgie boy will have nothing top show for this presidency except war,loss,debt and death. That's quite an achievement even for George Bush anyway he wants this deal to go through and he has indicated that he is not going to hold back as far as this deal goes.

Politically the Americans understand that if this deal does fall flat then the Russians who are waiting in the wings will just swoop in and then the U.S will be out of the picture as far as Asia goes. So for all the right reasons and the wrong reasons, both the democrats and the republicans in the United states want this deal to go through at all cost . The deal will happen, it is just a matter of timing but for George Bush, it is fast running out as the presidential elections are fast approaching the United states!

The U.S - India nuke runaround!

It has come a full circle, with the United states now on the back foot. All said and done, both India and the United states wanted this deal to go through at any cost, at least that was the case with the Congress government, until their coalition partners, the Left parties threw in the spanner. Now, with the threat to his government, Manmohan singh had no choice but to tell George Bush that the 'Nuclear deal' has to be put on the back burner at least for the time being. This should placate his coalition partners there by assuring that this government will run its full term. One can almost hear the breath of relief all across the Indian parliament.

Today,saw the Indian prime minister call up President Bush, to tell him that due to political opposition from his coalition partners,the Deal has to be put on the back burner for the time being. To say that the Americans were 'shell shocked' would be an understatement of sorts. Let's face facts, the left parties will oppose anything, even if it is for the benefit of the country, as long as it is American. It is that stupid ideology of the Left parties that has caused so much havoc and confusion. It is high time that the Left parties understood that such 'Communist' principles belong only in the past and that the future holds no place for such antiquated ideals.

The Russians are busy preparing a Nuclear deal with India along the lines of the American deal and this news alone, by itself must be irking the Americans a great deal. They did all the hard spade work with India, the NSG group as well as the other member nations of the U.N security council. And now at the time that the American deal is being consigned to the back burner, along come the Russians with their version of a deal and may well end up doing the job and walking away with the credit. The Americans cannot, in all fairness oppose any such deal and they know it and so do the Russians. What is more, the Left parties whose ideological stand makes them oppose any deal with the Americans will very gladly welcome any deal with the Russians. Russia knows that it can get a nuclear deal signed with India and that it can walk away with all the credit after all the hard work put in by the Americans and Nicholas burns. Considering the fact that a deep chill has descended of late on the relations between the two super powers, they, the Russians may well do that.India will have a nuclear deal signed within 2 years, that is not in doubt, but the real question is with whom?

A climbdown on the Nuclear deal??

Today at a public meeting the prime minister of India,dr.Manmohan singh said that the nuclear deal is important to India and that he would like it to be finalised.but in the event that it did not do so,he would be disappointed,but life would go on.this is quite a climbdown for the ruling Congress party which had been gung-ho about this deal until now.
What is even more intriguing is that the position of the government had come at a time when the IAEA chief was in India.there are many rumors doing the rounds that the Congress party is just trying to placate its partners in the coalition government and that they are just bidding for time.all said and done,no where had the Congress party mentioned that they are giving up the deal.as the parliament closes for the winter,that would be a ripe time for the current government,that is the congress party to move ahead with the deal.since once the parliament shuts down,there is little that this government's coalition partners can do to enforce their point of view!there is a shady game going on over here,how it will end,we will be able to know that in a couple of months!

Shame,shame,shame on you!

The left parties should be ashamed that it is holding the government hostage.many believe that the Left parties are actually the agents of China.whether that is true or not,the left's position on so many issues correspond to the position of China itself.this is indeed very worrying that the government of India could be held hostage and stopped from carrying out its duties because of certain foreign Powers.
what is more,most of the educated citizens of India are of the opinion that the Nuclear deal between India and the United stats is in the national interest and that it is essential.and with the Left's threat of withdrawing support if the government goes ahead with the Nuclear deal is only being seen as many as the left is against any development for India as large and that they are interested in foisting another national election on the people!
What is really galling is that these people are doing it under the guise of 'national interest'.it is more likely a case of self interest.the left have shown their true colors and the people of India will never forgive them if they try to foist another general election on such grounds and under the guise of 'national interest'.it is the tax payers money that is being spent every election and we the tax payers most certainly do not want another election right away.the left parties can be assured that come next election they will most definitely not get our votes and that is the truth!
