Delusions of a leftist intelluctual
by Chetan Anand on Mar 10, 2005 09:58 PM   Permalink

Mr. Praful Bidwai,it seems,has come to the conclusion that a "left-centre,secular" UPA govt. is the only panacea to problems faced by our country.(The BJP and others have no right to be in politics even!!)
He conveniently passes off the blatant assault on the democratic traditions of our country by the Congress led UPA govt. as demonstrated in Jharkhand as a necessary corollary in "imparting" a "left-centre" turn to the national politics(It is OK for the Congress to indulge in its trademark "dirty tricks" so long as the "communal forces" are kept out of power.)

Mr. Bidwai would do well to remember that in his blind visceral hatred of the NDA and everything that the BJP(the so-called "communal neo-liberal" forces) is associated with, he is in fact advocating a brand of politics which is "exclusively secular" in nature,contrary to the inclusivist "left-centre" ideology he claims to represent.
