Left has been repeatedly raising the bogey of American imperialism but has been conspicuously silent on numerous intrusions inside Indian teritory and repeated snubbing of Indian leadership by China. It is clear that Left accepts Chinese hegemony and expansionism but no co-operation with US. The Left is once again exposed on their 'nationalistic credentials'. It is indeed a welcome riddance of Left from the present dispensation at Centre. Their association has pushed the country to the brink.
