IT APPEARS THAT SOMNATH CHATTERJEE IS CLOSING HIS EYES ON THE PAST. HE HAS NOT REACHED THE POST OF THE LOK SABHA SPEAKER RIGHT FORM HIS MOTHER'S WOMB. HE WAS ASSOCIATED WITH A POLITCAL PARTY AND THAT PARTY HAS CHOSEN AS THEIR REPRESENTATIVE TO LOKSABHA FOR SEVERAL TERMS AND THAT PARTY CHOSEN HIS NAME AS SPEAKER JUST TO ENSURE THE CONG AND UPA THAT THEIR ISSUE BASED SUPPORT TO CENTRE IS A SERIOUS ONE. NOW SINCE HIS PARTY FELT THAT THE CONG AND UPA IS NOT GIVING ANY CREDIT TO THE ISSUES POINTED OUT BY THEM, HIS PARTY HAS WITHDRAWN THE SUPPORT. HENCE, IT WAS / IS EXPECTED THAT THE SPEAKER WILL QUIT HIS POST. BUT CLINGING ON THE SPEAKER'S POST CLAIMING CONSTITUTIONAL REASONS IS A PROOF THAT HE HAS ALSO BECOME A VICTIM OF PARLIAMENTARY OPPORTUNISM. PUTTING HIS INDIVIDUAL EGO ABOVE HIS PARTY WILL BE A FOOLISH ACT. HE WILL REALIZE THE SAME SOON.
