I'll tell PM to take risk on N-deal again and again: Rahul

Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday hailed Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for showing ‘vision, tenacity and leadership’ over the Indo-US nuclear deal issue and said the accord is worth taking a ‘risk’.

A week ahead of the government's trust vote, he strongly defended the nuclear deal, saying it will be beneficial for the country in the long run.

Questioning opposition to the deal, Gandhi said it was similar to the criticism his late father Rajiv Gandhi faced when he introduced computers in the late 80s.

"At that time all thought it (decision to introduce computers) was ridiculous. The argument given that time was how will it benefit farmers," he said at a press conference in Amethi.

Gandhi said the Prime Minister has shown ‘vision, tenacity and leadership’ by deciding to go ahead with the nuclear deal.
