It is ironic that though the LEFT is headed by fairly educated people, National interest has been their last priority. Their utterances amaze me.... ' The Nuclear accord will hurt the interest of muslims !'
On the contrary, the likes of Mulayam Singh Yadav, Lalu Yadav etc have proved to be better leaders and the Indian public appreciates their stand to side with the Congress in the interest of the Nation.
I think the LEFT has reached its Nadir under 'Karat and Company'.
