Stop all this poll talk, says Cong

The Congress on Thursday rejected suggestions that there was a threat to the UPA Government over the Indo-US nuclear deal.

“Both parties have not put any deadline,” AICC Media Department Chairman Veerappa Moily said, adding that IAEA chief Mohammed El Baradei has also said there was no deadline on the safeguards agreement negotiations. Referring to reports about problems between the UPA Government and the Left allies, he said, “Allow the UPA Government to run smoothly. Put a stop to all this…Both parties (Congress-led UPA and the Left) have been sincere in arriving at a solution and this talk of elections should become irrelevant.”
