Indo-US deal has become a non-issue

The political game which is being played just now is not really related with the Indo-US nuclear deal. The one-point agenda is to topple the government and try various political permutations and combinations preparatory for the next elections. The deal should not be allowed to be the casualty of the Indian dirty politics. At one point of time, BJP had no objection for the government for going ahead with the deal. Slowly everything has changed. If BJP votes against the deal, it will reflect very badly on its past image of supporting “nuclear” India.

In fact, BJP should support the deal and then fight the elections as a party with principles and national interest in focus. Let the tit-bit parties get aligned with any party. BJP Leader L.K. Advani should have a long-term vision for the country keeping in view of the energy security and climate change. The people of the country will revolt against BJP, if the party does not support the government on the nuclear issue. Congress may come back with majority in the next elections.
