Its all can be argued the way in which you want to argue. The very fact is had Mr. Chatterji did not win Lok Sabha seat on Left seat, he would not have become a speaker. By taking this stand, he defies the people who vote for left and elected him to Lok Sabha. Its a clear Breach of Trust. The reason he attributes is totally absurd. Its because of left's withdral of support the current scenerio is created. Its not because of BJP brought in no confidence motion. Who knows? Is it yet another 25C matter? I dont believe so taking into calibre of Mr. Chatterji. He took advise of his close political guru Mr. Basu and set aside his advice too.

Somnath Chatterjee, as a national leader, once elected as speaker of Lok Sabha, can only be sacked by the house. There has been no formal moves the Lok Sabha to sack him, so he remains by law the supreme ruler of the House. Check your facts on this. The speaker doesn't have to follow party line, but has casting vote in the event of a deadlock. This is the big difference between speaker and all other MPs. Until Indian politicians realise and respect this fact, there will be no parliamentary disclipline in India, and we as a nation, will continue to reason by emotion and not facts, such that you have demonstrated. India today is crying out for people like Somnath Chatterjee and Manmohan Singh who believe in the integrity of their office and no short term opportunism.

Do you think people of india does not look at individual and vote only based on party? If that is the case, all these parties would not need to offer tickets to criminals.
