Indan communists
by Sree Kumar on Aug 01, 2008 12:51 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

The past mistakes (which is the mildest word to describe the communists policies of 1948 (B.T.Randive), during China war and also emergency) have led to communists getting limited to 2 states. Even in those states communists have hugely benefited from the effective alliances they have forged and also the absence of credible opposition and also an opposition leader. Once Bengal and Kerala can get a leader of Nitish Kumar's calibre (who could position himself as an alternative to Lalu), even those 2 states will slip out their hands. It is time they carefully read the principle of diminishing returns. Any comments?

thats the problem, these communists cant be driven out because they are totally entrenched in the system. Bengal too changed somewhat only because of Buddha, otherwise they aer there to stay like it or not. bad for the state bad for the nation.

If the parties and election commissioner can ensure the free and fearless elections in Bengal at least Communists are not going to get clear majority.Even BJP must compromise in favour of congress to root out them.
