Thank God, at last the recalcitrant LEFT acted decisively for once ! The sight of PM rubbing shoulders with world’s Top leaders was perhaps too much for Karat & Co to digest. After over four years of doing Uthak/ Baithak to LEFT’s dictates when the PM asserted himself for the fist time, result is there for everyone to see. The parting should be welcomed by all because any govt. for that matter is not an end itself but a means to achieve an end. Not that the UPA failed altogether, but under the circumstances it was very difficult to function for any govt.; virtually functioning with both hands tied . Whatever they could achieve in Revenue collection and in Social Sector was despite Left who have a typical POWER oriented rather than a SERVICE oriented approach. The increasing spread of Naxal influence in rural belts gives credence to the irrelevance of these so called Communists. Should the govt. fall and the Deal dies, so be it. It will be an opportunity lost but at least the PM has tried his best . It is the price we have to pay for our democracy. Let it be left to the next govt. to do the best possible for the Deal.
