“The party will not allow the UPA government to proceed with the pact to help US President George W Bush when elections are round the corner in America,” Achuthanandan said.
India is in the midst of negotiations with the IAEA to firm up a safeguards agreement before approaching the 45-member Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) for changes in its guidelines to permit international nuclear commerce.
“We will not hesitate to withdraw support to UPA if they choose to go ahead with the deal,” he said.
Achuthannandan’s remarks come within days of CPI-M patriarch Jyoti Basu and party General Secretary Prakash Karat clarifying that while they stoutly opposed the nuclear deal, there was no threat to the UPA government.
Their clarification had come after CPI-M leaders had issued veiled threats saying there would be “serious consequences” if the government went ahead with the deal.
The UPA-Left committee on the nuclear deal is likely to meet before the budget session of Parliament to take stock of the negotiations at the IAEA.
“What America is doing is to make India its camp follower and prompting it to shed the time-tested non-aligned foreign policy. This will not be allowed at any cost,” the 84- year-old Chief Minister who completed 20 months in office on Friday, said.

RatingA respected leader like V.S Achuthanandan should have taken a more responsible stand.In fact the N'deal is good for India and the whole world.It will reduce India's dependency on hydrocarbon fuels like coal and oil for power generation. It will also reduce pollution from hydrocarbon fuels, which is good for the environment. Lower power prices will also improve India's economy.There is no restriction under this deal for continuing India's nuclear program.Then why the left is opposing the deal.The communists are opposing the Nuclear deal because they fear that a Stronger India means weaker China.
The USA a cunning and ruthless war-monger and too smart for its own,in particular, and the World's good in general,is untrustworthy of having any deal with.
Left communists must show the guts and withdraw support to the Congress-led UPA govt. I am sure, Left will withdraw suport just few months before the next loksabha election, just to show the poor voters they are fighting the govt all issues ranging from price rise to n-clear deal. Indian communists are most opportunists and anti-national forces. I am against the nuclear deal in present form, as that will make Bharat subservient to US and non-nuclear state. Congress under Antonia Maino alias Sonia and her domestic servent Manmohan Singh have hidden design, else why they want to impose on the nation a deal which majority opposes. People of Bharat must remove this anti-national and anti-hindu Congress-led govt and save the nation.
