Steet dogs are generally afraid of watch dogs.Decency and culture often take a back seat when street dogs run here and there and give a pathetic fearful bark on sight of the watch dog.CPI(M) has not won with an alliance with the Congress.CPI(M) has not taken the stand against the nuclear agreement out of any selfish motives.Their view may be different from the Congress.Decent people in the Congress also know that.But empty bottles make more sound.So the media and the money bags turn to indecent criticism against the CPI(M).It is to the credit of CPI(M) that they never threatened the UPI with empty threats of withdrawl of support.They have not done it even today.But they may do it if the Congress foolishly believe that they have a two third majority in the present Lok Sabha.
