If at all the "left" co passenger of "BJP" travelling in the same train of the political journey wishes to complete its journey unmindful of the objectionability of the other passenger,it need not travel in the same compartment.Instead,it can switch to other & reach the destination-of course with little bit effort to seek accommodation in the other.This is not a tenable argument. When the "left" knows that BJP is making its "restless bid to return to power",why should it allow?Is it not a party facilitating such return to power by BJP?Where has its principle & ideology of not allowing "communal forces" grabbing the power gone?Left alleges BJP that,having initiated the deal originally,it wants to grab the credit of signing it when it comes to power instead of allowing Congress to enjoy that credit.But where is the guarantee that BJP only will come to power in the ensuing elections?Or does the left mean that the deal should wait for BJP till they are voted to power?Left is confused & trying to find all lame excuses for what they did.On a soul search made belatedly-especially after being counselled by their patriac Jyothi Basu,it is regretting for its stand,but would like to put a brave face outwaradly out of a feeling of false prestige which is worth being shunned at least now.Their concern is not really for the country,but for upholding their ego.Quite easily,they have fallen pray to the plans of BJP pushing aside the national interests which should,factually,rank above all.
