Sena will toe NDA line on nuke deal, asserts BJP

The Opposition BJP on Wednesday a s s e r t e d that its oldest ally, Shiv Sena, will toe the NDA line on Indo-US nuclear deal in case of voting in Parliament on the issue. The clarification comes in the wake of speculation that the Congress-led UPA would be looking to the assistance of smaller parties from all sides to cobble up the numbers to back it for the nuclear deal since the Left withdrawing support to the government now appears almost certain.
