UPA's fall imminent if N-deal is not withdrawn: Yadav

BANGALORE: The fall of the UPA government was imminent unless Prime Minister Manmohan Singh decides to withdraw the controversial Indo-US nuclear deal, JDU President Sharad Yadav said on Monday.

Speaking to reporters here, Yadav said his party was not in favour of the deal and would continue to oppose it along with other parties at the centre.

"The deal is against India's interests," as it was in violation of the non-alignment policy followed by India for the past 60 years, Yadav said.
   
The Indo-US Nuclear deal, if cleared, would hamper the country's domestic policy and would enable the US to gain an upperhand in the affairs of the country, he said.

Commenting on the political scenario in Karnataka and the uncertainty over the transfer of power between the BJP and the JDS, he said in the politics of administration, "one should do as one promises."
