At the end of another day of political manouevrings, there were indications on Thursday night that Samajwadi Party continued to be on course to striking a deal with the Congress although it put up a show of unity with its allies in the UNPA, and the Left parties appeared to delay their inevitable divorce from the Manmohan Singh Government.
The UNPA, a conglomeration of anti-Congress parties, was not exactly expected to endorse the nuclear deal but in its four-hour-long meeting, the constituents appeared to have persuaded the SP from going public with its support for the Congress, at the least for the day.
Seeking a national debate, the UNPA leaders later met former President Abdul Kalam, a strong proponent of the deal, for seeking clarififcations in order to get their misvigings allayed.
In the opposite camp, there appeared to be still confusion over the withdrawal of support to the <b>UPA Government with indications that the action may be delayed till Prime Minister's return from Japan after attending the G-8 summit next week</b>.
