The one hand of the government does not know what the other is doing. The prime minister, while travelling to Japan, said we will go to IAEA soon. On the other hand, Pranab Mukherjee was writing to us saying we will meet on July 10 and discuss.

Now the talk is about who will get which ministry, who will become the secretary, CBI director. Are all these things being done with the national interest in mind?

The whole country is now seeing in whose interests all this is being done. It is wrong to propagate that this nuclear deal is for attaining energy security and providing electricity.

A dealer only thinks about the deal. A leader will look into the history of the deal, its future, political and social implications. The CPM had extended support to this government to lead this country and not to make deals. If you make one of these deals, to support it, you have to make so many wrong deals.

We need leaders to lead and not to make deals. Our foreign policy cannot be outsourced to America.
