Lett is Left Out! - Letter to Deccan Chronicle

This has reference to the ongoing imbroglio on N-Deal. The`US bashing and China praising’ communists are left out with no choice now. They have been telling their major partner (Congress) in UPA that toe the line, else face the consequence. But they are getting back the same from their partners (Buddha, Basu slam Karat – July 7). Over a period of time, whether it is at the national level or at regional level (for example, in Tamil Nadu they always ride on one of the two Dravidian parties depending on the situation), the Indian Leftists’ ideology is getting eroded. They are always indecisive and becoming opportunists. Considering the hue and cry on N-Deal, it seems that their main motive is to bring down the Central Government or put them under check rather focusing on their favourite subjects – inflation, price hike etc. concerning the common man. The dissent within Left parties may shatter Comrade Karat and his sycophants’ dream. The myth of Left Unity is getting exposed and The `Counter Point’ (July 7) was superb!
