These parties are truly upholding the NATIONAL interest (of CHINA). No other political party in India is National in this respect. Hats of to Bardhan, Karat & Co. These parties have become fossilized of the bygone era and should not be allowed to interfere in the onward march of time. These Left parties are alive and kicking because they have latched on to Congress. Alas Congress should have worked closely with the BJP instead, which is the second largest outfit in Parliament.
