New Delhi, June 19: A denouement of the crisis between the United Progressive Alliance government and the supporting Left parties on the Indo-U.S. civilian nuclear deal is near at hand.
Following the postponement of the UPA-Left coordination committee meeting, scheduled for Wednesday, the two sides seem to be preparing for a parting of ways. This means withdrawal of Left support to the minority government and the fall of the government. If that happens, a November-December 2008 general election is virtually guaranteed.
A few hours before the coordination committee was to meet, the government’s main negotiator, External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee, and the Left parties agreed on a postponement to June 25. This happened after the Left leaders learnt that the Manmohan Singh government had decided to go ahead with the nuclear deal.
