The Left thought that they were faulted. No!! Says the Mandate. The Left has been given the royal dressing down. In this saga of Indian politics, no Party is clean. While we feel that the status quo has been maintained at least for the time being, it is anyone's guess what the coming months will bring. Has the UPA fallen into the trap of the SP and Mayawati? I guess not. Such manuoverings by the Left will make every party wary of its policies and tactics. The Congress had fallen into disarray. They must leave petty politics behind and work for the greater good of the Nation. They still hold the trust and goodwill of the people. But, they must not take for granted that the people can suffer some of their narrow-minded politics.
