India- Nuclear Deal And Opposition

The failure of Indian political parties to come to a consensus about the nuclear deal shows a lack of will in the country to implement policies that are good for India. The opposition of left is understood to be in the context of the USA. What about the BJP? Let us discuss that.

1. BJP is all for the deal. In fact if it was in power and the deal was offered it would have accepted it without any opposition and shown it as a victory.

2. The problem with BJP is not with the deal but the fact that the Indian national Congress has clinched the deal. BJP does not want to give credit to its opposition for the deal hence it is raising objections about the deal.

3. BJP has some idea that its supporters in the middle class will vote against it because of BJP's opposition to the deal. It is a well-known fact that the Indian middle class supports the USA whole-heartedly.

4. BJP plans to shout more about the rising prices rather than the nuclear deal The rising prices have come as heaven sent for the BJP.

Indian political parties have yet to mature. They oppose anything proposed by the ruling Govt. even if it is good for the country. There only objective is to grab the power. For them nation matters little. What they are always looking for is power. Why Mayawati calls the deal as anti Muslim is beyond comprehension. The deal has nothing to do with any religion. This opposition to the deal because it may be against the Muslim desire shows utter lack of morality. It will also increase the divide between Hindus and Muslims in India. It is time for Muslims to get up and say that they have nothing against the deal. Unless they do so Hindus will see them in a different light and political parties will again increase the divide further.
