UPA's allies on Monday evening made a united attempt to convince Congress chief Sonia Gandhi to back down on the nuclear deal. They collectively said it is not a good time for an election against BJP led NDA as India is suffering from the fiscal and monetary mismanagement from Chidambaram and Manmohan Singh, academic economists trained in the west.
The UPA leaders called for a truce between the Left parties and Congress and urged the Congress party to give up back door attempts to please the failed US President George Bush.
Can Sonia Gandhi give up India-US nuke deal? Most likely she cannot because there are hidden commitments behind it. <span style='color:red'>$100 billion is involved. That can of money transfer always involves big chunk of kickbacks. Can Congress party forego that kind of money? </span>
The Left is firm on its stand. CPM general secretary Prakash Karat reiterated that the Left, without doubt, would withdraw support if the government went to the IAEA board.
<b>It seems Congress party could not offer enough to share with the communists on the kickbacks they will receive from the deal. </b> <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
