CPM general secretary Prakash Karat, who said that his party's efforts would be at disentangling India from the US and Israel, ruled out any concession to the government at the meeting of the nuclear deal on Wednesday. "We will not allow the government to wrap up the safeguards agreement with the IAEA,' he said. Although the prime ministerial establishment is still pitching for the deal, not many in the government and the Congress share their optimism. Ms Sonia Gandhi, who has been backing the government's argument on the need for nuclear energy, is learnt to be against any step that would offend the Leftists. That the meeting on Wednesday will not break the deadlock is clearly evident from Mr Karat's assertions. The CPM leaders have been maintaining that they will not lower their guard till August on the deal. By then , the Bush administration will be completely in the poll mode. The development is certain to be discomforting for the prime minister, who has staked his personal reputation on the deal. The US has been egging on the government to move ahead fast. "Even if the Indian government were suddenly to turn around and get the IAEA stage completed, there would be no time for the remaining two stages,' Mr Ashley Tellis, one of the original architects of the deal, said in an attempt to drive home the US administration's point that India needed to move fast for clearing the remaining hurdles. After wrapping up the safeguards agreement with the IAEA, the government will have to seek a waiver from the Nuclear Suppliers Group. Left trying to keep China happy: BJP NEW DELHI: The BJP on Sunday reacted strongly to CPI general secretary A B Bardhan's charge that the Indo-US N-deal was part of an exercise to make India an outpost of China, and said that the remark was yet another proof of the UPA's policy reflexes being held hostage by the Left. "The CPI, in its overenthusiasm towards China, seems to have forgotten that it's not a Chinese, but an Indian political party,' BJP president Rajnath Singh said.
