U are wrong , nabanita .. what jyoti basu is saying now is only to save face and retreat on the stand taken by his party regarding the nuclear deal .. every body in India wants development and even the bengalis have deserted CPIM on the nuclear issue .. so this is jyoti's face saving tactics .. regarding your comment that we never had best PM, I take it that U wanted Jyoti to be the PM of India .. we would have been doomed if Jyoti would have become the PM .. he has totally ruined West Bengal during his rule as the CM and he would have taken India back by another 30-40 years if he would have become the PM .. God save us all from the leftists who are not concerned about the growth and development of our country but just want to appease their Chinese masters ... shame on Karat/Yechuri and his other leftist friends .. what a pity that although India is a country of rich heritage, history and culture, these leftists don't have their own truly Indian Ideology and have to follow the communism and Marx & lenin and their chinese comrades for their day to day livelihood ...
