The congress CPM alliance was opportunistic like donkeys getting together to keep away the formidable elephent like BJP. Such alliance was doomed to fail.I can understand all monolithic dynastical political parties like congress,DMK, S.P, BSP and AIADMK getting into any unholy allaince to protect their clan.I am surprised how a cadre based party like CPM succumbed to the unholy alliance.CPM's fear of cummunal parties taking over & ruining the country are unfounded. They lack vision and far sight.In fact they should have percipitated their fears to manifest by not joining hands with congress.Even if BJP comes to power, or for that any party coming to power, always go for a graudal moderation of their exremist ideologies or else they get thrown out by well meaning citizens through ballot.The only party applying all principles of management, statesmanship with sincerity and integrity is BJP. Their ascendence to power may be gradual.But once they are there they would stay put for a long time AKC
