Indo-US civil nuclear deal would be one of the key poll issues during the next Lok Sabha elections - Congress

"As every section of the society is in favour of this deal, the Congress will again come to power with thumping majority," Congress general secretary Margaret Alva, who is also party's incharge of Haryana affairs, said addressing party workers in Panipat.

She alleged that the BJP and other opposition parties played every trick to oppose this nuclear deal during the debate on vote of Confidence in the Lok Sabha.

Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda termed BJP as "Bahoot Jhoothi Party" which was "always trying to come to power in the name of Ram Mandir or Ram Setu". "Now, its policies have been exposed when it joined hands with its arch rivals during voting on vote of confidence motion even when it was not averse to the signing of the nuclear deal," he said.
