123 yet again
At a time when the Congress was cozying up to the Samajwadi Party, with the nuclear deal in mind, "Taj Corridor" Mayawati declared on Saturday that her party Bahujan Samaj party has decided to withdraw support to the UPA Government. The government doesn't need the BSP to remain in power but it now clearly needs to get the Samajwadi Party on board if it wants to push through the nuclear deal. Singh and his colleagues may seek to paint Mayawati as closet ally of "communal" BJP.
IMO: The Russians are also having some problems with their own 123 agreement, because of Iran, and there also the US seems to waver in its policies and to be unable to reach any firm options.The 123 waverer really does seem to be the US and not India. The US has shifted ground during this matter. Hard to see this shifty policy as being in the US self-interest, better to have stuck with the original terms. From India's viewpoint, the Economic Times says "The government must go ahead with the nuclear deal and send a signal that it will not compromise on core issues which further national interests."
