Mr. Karat's interview has brought out quite a few issues in the orefront. Firstly he is no different from other politicians, he also talks about communal parties etc. Why can't Mr. Karat understand that Communism never meant that poverty of the nation should be preserved. In West Bengal, we have heard about situations, when electrical power in the hospital failed and no medical service could be extended. Last year, we had a couple of fires in Kolkata and the informed people are of the view that all the employees of State Fire Services, at lower lever are cadre members and for them knowing about the party politics is more important than knowing about the intricacies of fire fighting. I feel, in the country, we have two types of workforce. There is one group, which does not have much of a political affiliation and they are the ones who are trying to produce and the second group is the Communist affiliated workforce, which is always trying to obstruct the first group and plan and implement millions of bandhs. Nation should ask Mr. Karat to explain as where he wants to take the nation. Have we ever heard about any contribution from even a single communist (Dr. Asim Dasgupta included) which has help the nation in increasin any productivity in any of the sectors he has claimed in his interview. These people only want to stick to power and dictate the lives of millions of people.
