New Delhi: October 12, 2007 -  Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has made it clear that there shall not be early polls and his govt. would enjoy full term and in the breath said that if Indo-US deal does not go through, it will not be the end of life. 

Is it the confidence of the Prime Minister or some secret adjustments with the Left, or UPA Govt. bowed before the Left, or UPA high crew does not want to lose the glamour of power and to wish and enjoy for the full term, or is there any new development taken place?

There is a rumor in the political lobbies that Sonia Gandhi, the Chairperson of the UPA, wants her son Rahul to get proper experience and unless he gets maturity of senior leadership, she should either delay the process of Indo-US Deal or should compromise with the Left.

Mr. Manmohan Singh also expressed his mind that "reason and common sense" will ultimately prevail on the issue of the Indo-US nuclear deal.

"Elections are still far away. The Government has still one-and-a-half years to complete its term. I hope and expect we will stay the course," Singh said at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit.
He was answering a question on the speculation of mid-term polls in the wake of the stand-off with the Left allies on the nuclear deal.

Asked if he had staked too much of his personal prestige on the nuclear deal and would it make him a much weaker Prime Mininster with less credibility if it does not go through, he said "we are not a one issue government. we have made changes in various areas....but in life one has to take certain disappointments and move on to the next".

To a query on the differences with the Left, Singh said he will take the question on the nuclear deal head-on and defended the agreement as "an honorable deal that is good for India and good for the world."
Referring to the differences over the deal, he said, "We are in the realm of politics" where there are differences of perception.

"We are trying to reconcile the divergent points of view. I have not given up hope that reason and common sense will ultimately win the day," Singh said.

Whatever may be the remarks of the Prime Minister, there is something deep today that has led him to suggest "if Indo-US deal does not go through, it will not be the end of life." Lobbies analyse there is some secret pact with the Left?
