Left claim to follow ideology: fine. The question is Can they consider their idelogy to be above national interests? A deal that's clearly loaded in India's favour is obsessively opposed by Left- just because US is involved !! And the less said about Left making noises about India's independant foreign policy. For Half-century after independance, India was junior-partner to USSR/Communist-block, and that's considered OK ?? And what about Left supporting Mayawati (who has 96-properties), Left's amnesia on corruption. Cominf to fighting Communal forces- Left implicity working with BJP to bringdown Congress.

BJP & Left r the only parties, which hv some principles. all others r either controlled personally like SP (Mulayam), TC (Mamata), AIADMK (Jailalitha), BJD (Navin Patnaik), BSP (Mayawati), RLD (Ajit Singh), NCP (Sharad Pawar) etc. or controlled by a dynasty like Congress (Sonia Parivar), JD (S) (Devegouda Parivar), RJD (Lalu Parivar), Shiv Sena (Bal Thakre Parivar), Akali (Badal Parivar), NC (Farook Abdulla Parivar), DMK (Karunanidhi Parivar) etc.
