The nuke deal between US and India faces Indian election next year – people of India will finally choose yes or no

The civilian nuke deal between India and US is stalled. Indian Atomic Energy Commission chairman Anil Kakodkar call it "more of a problem of politics". In reality it was an example of a problem of arrogance of Indian and US politicians to sign a pact without asking their own people if they support the same.

There is resentment against the deal in US and there is strong popular opposition in India. Neither Bush cared to take into account the US resentment nor Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi gave a damn about what Indian common people want.

The deal now faces Indian election next year. BJP and the communists will make a case of selling mother India out to the foreigners. Congress will make the case for continued Indian prosperity for the few privileged in Bangalore, Hyderabad and Mumbai. In the mean time Indian countryside suffering from hyperinflation and neglect by the Congress party will decide the fate of the deal by selecting a new Government.

America is pressing India to expedite the procedures for implementing the agreement while New Delhi has sought some more time to achieve a political consensus in the country. Kakodkar says, "the fact is the domestic program was 10,000 mw. The question is what rate I will be able to produce it and how fast. If we get inputs from outside we can do that much faster." However this man fails to understand facilitation of the process does not guarantee Indian sovereignty.

American Administration wants the deal badly because the American corporations like GE, Westinghouse and others who will gain $100 billion by selling reactors and components to India control it.
