"lip service to both non-alignment and social democracy has been cast aside by the prime minister's decisive break with the Left " Where did you get the idea that left has anything to do with social democracy? There's is an autocratic party. By promoting industry, Dr Singh has thwarted the lethargic antio progressive culture and ensured the future generations industry and thus produce and jobs!! Also "high inflation " can only be countered with more produce and sadly that cannot come from any of the mouldy ideas from the UNPA parties. "BJP finds it difficult to fight what suspiciously looks like its own mirror image" - Are you daft? BJP is without a good leadership and hence cannot oppose unlike your darling Behenji who will do anything to please her ego and hog limelight. "obsolete casteist politics" will only result in perpetuating "constituency of poor and oppressed people" Yes Behenji has become much bigger in the political arena and due credit to her for that but the reasoning of UNPA in economics is pathetic and will certainly make India a constituency of poor which will make pseudo intellectuals like you acheive a big - o as it will be consistent with you class struggle views instead of upliftment which UNPA sadly lacks
