In a fresh ultimatum, CPIM has threatened mid-term polls to Lok Sabha if the Government goes ahead with IAEA talks beyond December.

In comments to Delhi State CPIM meeting accessed by a Times Now TV, CPI M General Secretary Prakash Karat said the party did not want to disturb the present arrangement at the Centre because of Gujarat polls.

We don8217;t want the BJP to benefit from the fall of the Government at the Centre but we don8217;t want them to carry on with IAEA talks beyond December. When they come back from talks now that is enough. But if the government goes ahead with the talks, then it should 8220;be prepared for mid-term polls,8221; he said.

This is the first time that the CPIM, which along with other Left parties is strongly opposing the Indo-US

Nuclear deal, have clearly set the deadline for the government and made it explicitly clear what the consequences would be if it goes ahead with the deal.
