I liked his words: "See, our party believes that whatever position you are in, you should have the power to implement our ideology and plans for the country. We would have been a minority government being supported by parties who do not agree with our ideology or plans. What was the point in being prime minister when you cannot use that position to do what you wish! That is why the party turned the idea down."
--- That is exactly Congress should have done after the election. It seems the Left parties have better ideology than Congress.

It was a clever way of trying to justify your impotence in taking up the challenge of leading a coalition government. The truth is left will never get the number right if it wants perfect majority.Dream, but wake up once to see the truth.

Hey Sudip, There is a difference between saying & doing. Congress this time has shown that they wanted nuclear deal even if they have to sacrifice the goverment & they stood by it. Congress this time around worked for ideology of Nation Development.They need to be complemented. About Leftists, less said is better, they are scared of taking responsibilities.They are critical of every progressive step.They do not have courage to accept mistakes, just one example for all these: the Liberalisation was opposed by them tooth & nail, but now that it is bearing fruit they are not saying a word about being wrong in the first place!! Implementing in their state(WB)though unashamedly.

The whole Marxist theory is illogical. USSR collapsed after 75-years of Communism. Complete set of Easter-Eupopean countries tried communism for 45-years and collapsed. What is the contribution of Cuba & North-Korea to world even after 50-years of Communism ??

Can you say why these commies are afraid to ask China to get lost from illegal occupation of AKASHI CHIN & TIBET. Why the commies never denounsed 1962 Chinese agression on INDIA?
We are fortunate that we have Manmohan, Atal, Somnath, Sonia and other such people in politics. These are good people. We must encourage good people and try to support them. The politics is started becoming impossible since hijacked by holigans and power loads. We salute the democracy and leaders come to respect democracy.
