Nuclear Deal and the BJP
The story of the Indo – US Nuclear Deal strongly resembles the story of the ‘donkey, the father and the son’ except for the role of the BJP. In the original story, those who commented about the donkey were different groups of loafers standing at different places along the road. Here the BJP is travelling along with the trio and offering all the conflicting comments along the journey. As in the original story, this time also the concern is not about the donkey. The BJP simply does not want the journey to finish, which actually they had begun, because, now they are not the drivers. And we all know too well how the story and the donkey will end!
