Somnath Chatterjee was never a communist, he was just a friend of Jyoti Basu. That was the reason he got everything, became an MP, travels every year to Britain, became the speaker now he does not want to give up his luxury living. As a person he is arrogant, full of self importance with offensive behaviour. He is deeply unpopular in West Bengal. I guess he will try to join The Congress to get a ticket in the next election because it is sure and certain he will not get a ticket to stand for election on behalf of the CPI(M) again.
