N-Deal Deadlock still remains

With UPA allies not in favour of an early elections and the left parties still adamant on their nuclear deal stand, it remains to be seen whether any amicable solution will be reached between the Congress and the left. According to sources, Manmohan Singh is very keen to finish the N-Deal with the U S that would go a long way in satisfying India`s energy requirements. This albeit was rejected by some of the scientists while others are in its favour. In yesterday`s UPA-left meet, as usual no decision was reached and the left parties have not relented. They have seeked a written assurance from the prime minister and Sonia Gandhi that they would not pursue the deal. Congress in the meanwhile is looking to the Samajwadi Party to support it in case the left withdraws support in the event of the deal going through. These are troubled times for the Government as it is already tackling with inflation issue coupled with the headache due to the N-Deal.
