CPI general secretary A B Bardhan on Sunday said that the UPA government shouldn't be sacrificed for the sake of the India-US civilian nuclear deal and the Manmohan Singh dispensation should focus on controlling inflation instead of trying to rush the deal. Bardhan, who was in Bhubaneswar to address a convention opposing the establishment of Posco project, didn't state as to whether the Left parties would withdraw support from the Congressled Central government if the latter signed the deal with the US.
