The Italian empress of India is doing a fine balancing act. To keep communal forces out she has no qualms in teaming up with the Left, while she chooses to take them on for Nandigram. None of the UPA constituents for that matter have any right to criticize anything that happened in Nandigram. When your UPA cannot survive for a day without their support, and for them clinging to power is the most important thing which is quite clear from the nuclear deal fiasco, they should keep mum and only cry hoarse about Modi and Gujrat.
