A meeting between India's ruling Congress party and its communist allies on a US nuclear energy deal ended without resolution but the two sides said they would try and break the deadlock later. Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee told reporters the government coalition partners discussed "all aspects" of the deal which promises to open India to long-denied Western nuclear energy technology.
