MORE NUCLEAR POWER

The deal will lead to the more efficient import of nuclear technology and equipment which will ultimately translate into higher nuclear power generation.

In fact, the Lok Sabha was informed recently by the Government that construction work was already in progress on eight reactors with plans being drawn up to build more such reactors under international safeguards. The eight reactors being built would, after completion, lead to an increase in nuclear power generation from the current 3360 MW to 7280 MW.

"No Confidence Motion" just concluded with NDA losing out to UPA by 275 - 256 and 10 abstention's from the overall voting.

So this means the deal will go through and India will get more power (electricity) which it shall give it to more villages at a cheaper cost.

But more interesting things that happened today in the Parliament were 3 BJP candidates coming on the floor with bundles of thousand rupees notes in a bag and displaying in front of Indian public that they were bribed and they have proof. One BJP candidate who already has a chargesheet against him for taking a bribe on Dec 2005 regarding land case. So the channel CNN-IBN (told by Mr. Ravi Shankar, BJP Spokesperson) took the sting operation and displayed it to the speaker of the Parliament.

My point on these:
* If you were going to get bribed call the police and shoot the whole damn thing. When you get the money tell the police to catch the one who gives the bribe (as it is also a crime).
* BJP were already with the deal when Mr. Vajpayee was the PM but as they wanted to topple the govt they became against it. I say they should have joined the congress and no ugly faces would have being seen.

So all in all a good deal for India and Indian public if the politicians don't screw it up.

Jai Hind!!!
