New Delhi: CPI-M General Secretary Prakash Karat may still not let agree on the Indo-US nuclear deal, but he is through with his game of stern warnings.
All this, because he has probably come to terms with the Left's own reality.
The state units of Kerala and West Bengal are not ready for elections and bringing down a secular government when Narendra Modi seeks re-election doesn't make political sense.
“We are not insisting on a discussion for on a voting resolution. It can be a non-voting resolution,” said Karat.
However, the nuke warfare is certainly not over because Karat has given no indication that he's changing his stand on the deal.
What's clear though is that the rules of engagement are certainly changing.
With the Left's game plan is not yet clear, the Parliamentary Affairs Minister who comes from the Left bastion of West Bengal, Priyaranjan Dasmunsi, won't be swayed just yet.
“The Congress Party is second to none to fight the colonial designs. We should not learn how to fight them from any other party. Rather they can learn from us,” he said.
It's the clearest indication as yet that the elections won't happen early but it's not indication enough that elections won't happen before 2009 either.
