The Nuke Deal: Why was there a Trust Vote?

It’s been a long time since I posted something on politics and seriously it was mainly because nothing was really happening in the world of politics, until the UPA won the trust vote in parliament. Now most of you already know a lot about how the UPA won the trust vote and why was there a trust vote in the first place. I am gonna focus on the latter in this post, I’ll try >.<

A trust vote was held in the Lok Sabha, the Indian Parliament of the people because the Left had withdrawn support when the UPA decided to go to ahead with the Nuclear deal between America and India. The Left said that they ‘know’ that the Indo-US Nuke Deal is bad for the country and it will mean that India will be ‘under’ the US. Other opposition parties like the BJP, BSP and other small parties decided to join in with the Left to bring down the government. Comments like ‘This government is in the I.C.U, will it survive?’ were thrown around by opposition leaders during the Parliament sessions held a day before the trust vote. While the Left and their alliance thought they were gonna bring down the Manmohan Singh lead government.

The UPA decided to get SP to back them up for their deal. Now all that is good politics but everyone kinda forgot why was there so much politics being played. Answer : The fucking Indian-American Nuke deal! Now, the UPA says that the deal is good for the country of India and it’s citizens and if this deal goes through [which it will, now] India will be regarded as a nuclear state. The Left however, even after loosing the trust vote decided to stick with their new motto which is ‘The UPA and the deal are both bad for this country.’ Supporting them the BJP was not really interested in the deal, they just wanted power so they joined the Left for wrong reasons. There were rumors going around that even the BJP came into power the deal would go through, BJP quite obviously called all these rumors bullcrap and blamed Amar Singh [President or something of the SP/Amithabh Bachan's 'brother'] for spreading these rumors.

Now, the N-deal basically from what I now will give India nuclear energy. All good? Not exactly, there have been some criticism over some of the text in the deal about the America not letting India producing nuclear arms, now I don’t know how much of this is smoking mirrors but I know that America won’t sign a deal wherein they don’t get anything, no country will actually. The text of the deal hasn’t been made public yet and it’s doubted that it ever will.

This deal has been going around since a long time and now finally it’ll go through. Maybe it’ll all be for the good of the people or maybe we’ll end up like Iran [you know, fucked up.]

I was actually supporting the UPA on this and I saw the whole Parliament session on the day of the trust vote, nearly. And I was convinced that they would win when our Prime Minister went ahead and showed his ‘Victory’ gesture to the media. Though many people think that India is gonna be in a sad state after the N-deal, I actually doubt it. Heck, everyone knows that I love this government [You know the same government which has bought VAT taxes, inflation rise, fuel price hikes among various other things to this country.] <3 So yeah, I support the N-deal!

There now can I have my 30 crores? :/
