Congress is thinking that it will use the nuclear deal to get the rural votes. BJP has to counter that aggressively by pointing out the following:
1) The nuke deal limits India's sovereignty.
2) The power from the deal come a few years from now and even then will be a small % of total power.
3) Cost of power.
4) They should link the cost of power with inflation. BJP benefits if inflation is the the main election issue.
Congress bereft of any other achievment, has this nuclear deal as the only issue to go polls with.
Congress is behaving like it has won the election like it did after the trust vote. BJP has enough ammo to counter this and they should do it effectively.
