hi hari... though a certain part of ur speech is true - dat good oratory is indeed an asset in the cpi-m...it's obvious that u hvnt hrd somnath speak in english - else u wud hve realised that it's the karats & yechuris who are in awe struck of this cambridge educated 'chatterjee'!!
'awestruck servant' - jus' bcos the central committee sumwat feels it's 'easier' to handle the ppl who're not from bengal...so u see such 'non-entities' holding the G-Sec post!
the only irony here is dat - the only communist who's falling here - is falling becos he protested the folly of the communists!! DAT is the irony my friend!
