The Lefts have repeatedly jumped the wagon in their long and distinguished (?) history, starting with the 2nd World War, Indian Independence, helping BJP come to power by denying Jyoti Bose the chance to become the PM. Don't forget their stand during the Indo-Chinese war of 1961 and their latest stand at Nandigram. They not only denied the media entry at Nandigram but prevented the Governor from going there. Think twice before you label them Democrats and Nationalists. They shout themselves hoarse on the issue of "Saffronisation of Education" when they themselves have "Reddened" the West Bengal Education policy.
