As the possibility of mid-term polls looms large, one is faced with the obvious question. How far will the N-Deal dilemma pose threat to the Manmohan Singh regime, or strengthen it if you will! The Congress seems clear on its absolute no-no to taking any U-turns and backtracing, and several religious proponents to the deal maintain that the deal will go thru'.
On one end is the Left, consistently warning the Government that any commencement of negotiations with the IAEA would be regarded as a surefire way to doom. Seems like the Left's almost whimsical dagger-in-the-throat to withdraw support has drawn little if any dent to the Government's stand. Asks one ardent N-deal supporter "How can the Congressmen allow themselves to be blackmailed by the Communists?"; clearly he was concerned on 'fundamentalist ideology' I am sure. Mmmm, worth pondering over depending on which side you are on!
As if to top it all hardcore acolytes of the Indo-US deal in the capital's strategic community insist that the last word on the deal has not been said, yet. Yeah right!
