You have to grant it to Karat on his skill. He has been able to carry his party despite reservations by Jyoti Babu and Budhadeb into cornering the goverement. No other support party has been able to subjugate the coalition goverment so effectively.Karat breathes fire on the issues and mollifies the personal dignity by praising the integrity levels. On concerns being raised on his taking orders from Beijing - he is able to sidestep the issue the issue by saying that the left argument against the nuclear deal be answered and issues which have no bearing on the arguments need not be answered. He is truly a great manager...patriot??? I can't say . That perhaps Beijing will decide!!
