8216;Left won146;t withdraw, they have tasted power8217;

8220;They have tasted power for the last four years and it is difficult for them to abandon it on an issue,8221; he said.

8220;The supposed benefit for the country8217;s or the nuclear-deal has nothing to do with the CPIM. All that the Left parties are worried about is China8217;s interest. They are afraid that the US and India may corner China together,8221; he said.

Singh denied reports of change in the party8217;s stand on the deal.

8220;Our stand remains unchanged. We are opposed to the deal in the present form as it is not in the interest of the country,8221; he added.
