One had healthy respect for he views of the Communist parties of India. I in my child hood that they had answers to countries problems. I was an avid reader of PATRIOT newspaper.I think in supportinfg UPA coalition ,they have showed themselves in poor light. They have not ugraded themselves as STATESMAN .Their economic outlook has definitely an opportunistic touch Apart from strike /Bandh they have no soloution for the country. While I may not agree with Dr Manmohan singh policies , he is still missionary in his zeal and has made conytibution to the cause of INDIA. I t is sad that he has to depend upon Communist parties for elbow space.
