I have so far never seen a single issue that has caused rumpus and taken over India. Its bad in certain ways but good in several ways.
Its good because, people have started taking a deeper look at this Nuclear deal which otherwise would have quietly passed through our country. Thanks to the Left and also special thanks to the BJP for highlighting this nuclear deal. Here onwards there will be more scrutiny of policies that gets passed by our politicians. Obviously the base of critics in national poltics has increased and this is good. Its also good because, there is a hope that the next general elections would throw a clear winner with full majority onto the national scene.
Its bad because Indian polticians have become a laughing stock in front of the whole world because of the manner in which they have opposed the deal. The nay sayers had enough time to ponder over the deal and give a lengthy and detailed response as to why they opposed the deal. However, it didnot happen so far. No one has offered an explanation as to why they are opposing the deal.
Its also bad in a sense the one time MPs and those with some hidden agendas are having field day. Instead of supporting/opposing based on the national interest, they are switching sides based on what they are getting in return.
RLD, JDS, TRS etc are the parties which should be thrown out by the people. THey have no idea of what the nuclear deal is. THey just want to get their agendas furthered instead of a national agenda.
This millenium vote of trust on july 22nd has split the political parties into two groups. One which is clearly thinking in the national interest and the other clearly ani national.
The anti national group comprises of Left parties sphearheaded by Karat and BJP sphear headed by Lal Salam Advani.
These anti national parties should be shown the exit door in the next general elections.
Left, BJP, BSP etc have clearly cornered themselve without an exit strategy for themselve. They will be humbled nationally by people in the upcoming election whenevr they are held.
My vote goes to Congress.

I agree – most of the MPs in Loksabha do not understand what the Nuclear deal is. And some only think that it is Pro USA. If it is PRO USA then let it be – as long as it is not against anyone. We get power, we get jobs, we get investments, we get many things that we have not seen. For the first time I am with Congress in the Loksabha Trust Vote.
