u all must agree that somnath is a member of cpm, did he resign from the membership of the party after he became the speaker? one has to understand the party logic, he is the member of the party and the party has every right to ask its member to do its biding. as per cpm constitution he will be expelled, as it is his constituency is delimited, so , probably that is upper most in his mind. the politburo is supreme in cpm. he as a member has to follow diktat. there is nothing written in the constitution about this. this is not a party like sp and bsp or cong where u can keep changing as and when u like. i am not a commie but, thats the party constitution they are following it.
