The CPM has no other alternatives.They have to come out of this front before the next elections otherwise comrades will be ineffective lot.This is a good opportunity to make their rank and file again the path of strugggle,debates and this will enthuse the cadres politically.Without this political education the caders will be just like other parties.This is an opportunity to revamp the party and hence the decision and nothing else... Recall the party took the decision to support Congress inorder save the country from BJP rule and then how can they ally with BJP now,even if assuming the conggres did a mistake...People like sahadevan ji please think.
