SOMNATH CHATTERGY AS ELECTED BY ALL PARTIES AS SPEAKER AND HENCE ABOVE PARTY POLITICS. WHAT A FUN WAS HE INVITED AS A LAWYER FROM KOLKATA TO BECOME SPEAKER? FIRST AND FOREMOST HE GOT ELECTED AS CPM MP. CPM PUTFORTH HIS NAME FOR THE POST WHEN CONGIS WANTED CPM TO ATLEAST TAKE THAT POST AS THEU REFUSED TO TAKE MINISTERSHIP. ALL PARTIES THEN SUPPORTED THIS CPM MAN. IS HE OR HE IS NOT A CPM MEMEBR? HAVE THESE RED COMMUNISTS NOT ACCEPTED SUPPORT OF BJP FOR SPEAKERS' ELECTION? ARE THEY NOT GOING TO VOTE WITH BJP ON ANY RESOLUTION WHICH COMES TO CONDEMN THE TERRORISM OR INFLATION? tHEN WHY THIS RUBBISH THAT CPM SHOULD NOT VOTE AGAINST UPA WHO WANT VOTE OF SUPPORT TO GOVT TO GO AHEAD WITH NUC DEAL? ARE THE REDS AGAINST NUC DEAL OR IN SUPPORT OF IT? THEY HAVE TO SIMPLY DECIDE ON THAT AND VOTE? WHY BOTHER WHO ELSE ARE ALSO GOING TO VOTE THE SAME WAY? HAVE THEY LOST SENSE OF REASON AND LOGIC OR ARE CREATING LOGIC OF CONVENEIENCE?
NO DOUBT, IT IS DIFFICULT TO SACRIFICE CHAIR IN OLD AGE! IT IS BETTER HE RESIGNS FROM CPM, FROM LOKSABHA , JOIN CONGRESS AND CONTEST ELECTION AS CONGI. THAT WOULD BE THE LOGICAL AND ALSO PRINCIPLED STAND.
SUNHASH CHAKRABORTY IS KNOW OVER DECADES FOR CREATING FURORE OVER NON ISSUES - USHA UTTHUP'S PROGRAMME OR CRICKET ASSN ELECTION OR ---

Somenath chatterjee became known ONLY BECAUSE OF CPIM. The party picked him up from somewhere and made him a five time MP. This man lost to a novice Mamata Banerjee in Jadavpur and was hiding somewhere till he was brought to Bolpur. He did not have the courage to face Mamata again and ran away. He came to LOK Sabha on a CPIM ticket. He was spared by CPIM to become Speaker when Congress wanted to please CPIM at the beginning of the alliance. His Bolpur seat I think has come under SC Quota and therefore he may be under pressure. What a joke.. A speaker is supposed to take action against erring MPs who defy their party.. in this case when he himself is defying his party who is going to act? Political opportunitism, Greed and hungry for power at its peak. God save India
