Rajesh, yours is a wishful thinking. Persuade the Left? They believe themselves to be the most clever guys who dole out advises to others, but take no advice from others!! Ofcourse, after many years, when things become clear that their stand were wrong (for e.g. opposition against agricultural automation, computers, etc. etc. etc.... the list is unending), they come out with a correction that "we were wrong" and claim with pride that they are the only one who admit mistakes!! But after having lost many years, what is point of admitting a mistake? No, there is no way to pursuade the Left, the only thing we the voters can do is to vote against them. But even that may not succeed, because the followers are brought to believe their leaders only. The asset of the Left is their ability to forcefully present the "wrong" as the "absolute right". It is time for UPA to do some plain talking and tell the Left to go and.... but would the UPA do it? no chance....
