Kochi, March 8: The BJP said the party was against the Indo-US nuclear deal in its present form as it would mean surrendering the country's sovereignty to the United States.

"Like the Marxists, the BJP had no anti-US policy," party vice-president M Venkaiah Naidu told a press meet.

Asked about the threat by the CPM and CPI to withdraw support if the UPA Government went ahead with the deal, he said both the ‘Left parties are doing nothing, but merely threatening’.

Both the Congress and Marxists should end the ‘hide and seek’ with regard to the deal and take the Parliament and country into confidence, he said.

Alleging that the UPA Government was ‘insensitive’ to the issues concerning common man, he said the price of essential commodities were shooting up and the government had not taken any steps to control the same.

The Congress' slogan of 'Aam admi ka government' will boomerang on the party in the next election, he said.

Political compulsions of BJP by Ravinder Singh on 08 Mar 2008

They seem to be softer towards Congress on this issue. In fact, they want CPM to withdraw support to the UPA Government. But they know that CPM will not do so.

don't have anti-america policy. by Dr.Shanthakumar on 08 Mar 2008

This statement by Venkaiah Naidu has a logic. If they join along with the present governmnet, on issue based, it will be a good thing for our country. There is nothing wrong in this direction. At least they are frank unlike these left parties/right parties. BJP please join your hands and strengthen the hands of the present government and shun this hating as practised by the left parties/
