i am not a leftie. but i tell u that; left parties do not have dynasty politics. like karunanidhiji of soniaji etc. also they do not foment caste wars in bengal. may be they are stalinist, but then they are one. political awaremess is high in west bengal, thanx to cpm edcation of people. the left can change with the times, witness their emphasis on development now. also do treat this as a comedy, go and see, the state of bengal today. also it is the only state, where OBC DONT EXIST, INFACT RESERVATION IS ONLY FOR SC/ST IE 20% OR SO. REST ARE OPEN CATEGORY SEATS. A DAY WILL COME WHEN THE COMMUNISTS WILL RULE INDIA, LIKE NEPAL. ALTERNATIVE IS DISINTEGRATION.
