Left is not right ....

The kind of vociferous protests by the left parties over nuclear deal , SEZs,disinvestment issue and so on have brought the UPA government to its knees time and again.The left parties claim to support the govt. from outside ,but it is less of a support and more of a blackmail.The left parties preach one thing in New Delhi and practice its opposite in their bastions of W.Bengal and Kerala.The CPI(M) has gone out of its way to bring foreign investment in West Bengal but is opposed to the same when it comes to the rest of India.Surely something that works for WB cannot be all that bad for other parts.
The standoff between govt. and the left parties has cleared the ground for a likely general elections.While the elections are going to be a drain on the exchequer and it is highly unlikely that any party or coalition would get anywhere near the majority mark,even then it is preferable to have elections rather than having the Left parties dictate the national agenda.The leftists are living in a time warp.They are following an ideology which has been shunned even by their biggest role model ,i.e., China.
