Left parties, part of the coalition government at the centre has withdrawn the support to the Manmohan Singh government on the nuclear issue. The India government has decided to go ahead with the deal. The reason to oppose the deal by Left Parties may simply be because USA is involved, and anything American should be opposed whether it is in the national interest or not!
Now, the trial of strength in the Lok Sabha will be called for by the President and one has to see whether Samajwad Party and the other splinter parties will be able to make-up for the loss of number of MPs from the Left parties. Winning the trust vote will take the deal past IAEA, and India can approach Nuclear Suppliers Group for nuclear fuel for its civilian reactors. Anyway, the Congress government has taken a bold step in the national interest. The success of the deal will also give a boost to the much needed privatization plan of nuclear power in India
