UPA to sail through confidence vote: CEOs

Only 112 CEOs were not too confident to conclude that the confidence motion would be taken to a logical conclusion in view of conflicting reports emanating from various political parties, Assocham said.     

With the signing of the nuclear agreement, investments to the tune of $40 billion can be generated in field of nuclear energy in the country as leading industrialists have already started negotiations with their prospective counterparts to produce nuclear power, the survey said.     

A majority of CEOs opined that government would allow private players to make foray into nuclear power generations.     

The CEOs, who were confident of UPA winning the confidence vote, argued the N-deal was in the interest of the nation and a good sense would prevail among majority of MPs, Assocham President Sajjan Jindal said.     

Among those CEOs, who did not foresee the motion being smoothly sailed on Tuesday, nearly 65 of them are in favour of signing nuclear civil cooperation.
