Though supposedly part of the UPA, the LEFT parties have been following their on agenda and should have quit the coalition long, long ago.They delayed the N deal for several months despite all attempts to explain the deal's features - on sheer anti--US sentiment. Thank God,(whom they do not believe in!) they have now been put in their place! Voting against the Govt is no issue - better than being part of it and not supporting it. The Karats and Yechurys and Bardhans and Rajas have been vocal against the Govt from day one and have gained enough publicity for their nonsense. Maybe the UPA should give them a hearty send off. Older and wiser counsel within their parties should have prevailed!
