| UPA to explore all possibilities to ensure it ran full term | | | New Delhi, Aug 13 Unfazed by Left threat that the UPA will face "heavy political consequences" on the issue of Indo-US nuclear deal, Government today said it would "explore all possibilities" to ensure Congress-led coalition ran full term, but was against compromising "basic principles".
External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee, who is the party's key trouble shooter including with the Left parties, said he does not think that the recent controversy over the deal would lead to the collapse of the Government. The five-year term of the UPA government ends in May 2009.
Mukherjee's comments came a day after CPI-M General Secretary Prakash Karat said the onus of running the coalition government was on the Congress and his reiteration that the UPA regime would have to pay a heavy political price if it went ahead with the deal. |
