Samajwadi Party used the excuse of Abdul Kalaam to join the congress because they are out of power in UP and are being kicked every day by Mayawathi.
In order to save their skin(Cases against Mulayamjjii, Amarjiii, Amitapji, jayajji, Jayapradhajjii), now they have become nationalistic and are supporting the government the same way Lalloo is supporting the government.(He was also been kicked out from Bihar and has no way to go).
-As you have mentioned, the left is less consistent when compared to Manmohan singh and company.
