This is simply an article far from truth with a definite purpose just to create confusion in the ranks of left. Somnath chaterji is speaker of Lok Sabha simply because he was elected on CPI-M ticket, otherwise he could not have been a speaker and afterwards also he would have held a party post. A person can be said apolitical if he resigns from the membership of his parent party after getting elected as speaker. Somnath has conducted parliament in the worst possible manner openly being unfair. Somnath is and has been a political person and is in no case above party politics, He is openly opposing and showing his nature by saying that he does not want to vote alongside BJP. His constituency has been declared reserved, so he can not be a candidate from that constituency which has forced him to look for greener pastures with the help of Congress.
