7. It is not clear why the Leftists have made this integrity concept so elastic. Is it possible that the new crop of Communists do not consider honesty as an absolute characteristic but a relative one with compromises and concessions. Why do not they have moral uprightness in directing the Congress to change the candidate. Hope the communists have not become corrupt. What happened to their demand for morality in public life. If only such allegations had been leveled against BS Shekhawat, the Leftists%u2019 would have brought rafters of the parliament down by their violent exhibition of love for probity. The way the Leftists contributed to the selection of Madam Pratibha reminded what Kurushchev remarked about the Indian Communists in 1956. His remarks were after witnessing participation by comrades in religious activities in Kerala and West Bengal. He said that the Indian Communists were too shrewd to mix communism with religion. He encouraged the hypocrisy because it helped in the growth of communism. Compromise and concessions on basic principles are not alien to Indian communists.
