though the nuclear deal has bipartisan support in the present US Congress, but with no guarantee of the new Congress to emerge after elections to hold the deal puts Indian government to act in schedule to get Indo US nuclear deal to get through.
Congress leadership in line with agreement the PM’s schedule to work out the numbers game after the UNPA meeting on July 3. On July 01 couple of days before the meeting, Pranab meet Amar Singh explaing about the nuclear agreement.
Congress chief bet with SP’s support alone can avert a crisis with the SPon negotiation table is willing to play ball with the Congress, to weigh its gain the loss it has its absence in UNPA.SP leaders can get stuck with techinicality of the atomic deal if they find themselves in piquant situation for coming General election in which they feel the ultimate gainer.Party which hold UP state on its grip and can muster more than 40 lawmakers has definetly a bigger role to play in the formation of next government.SP needs to weigh the two opporunities to its best to is likely to achieve considerable mileage due to this hung deal in which left and Congress draw a bigger frame for their parties.
SP with next chunk of lawmakers come little late on National scene but how much national importance his party interest it gains.Their politial goodwill will hold them help more margins for their advantage in coming election to this giant party from UP state to assume national significance.
