I don't agree with the CPI (M) decision of expelling the party decision. I am NOT a Communist nor agree & follow the ideology. In my opinion, the decision of Somnathda is absoluteoy right of staying as the Speaker as that position does not belong to any political party and is above party cadre. Bravo Somnathda.

Ideal opportunity for Somnathda to retire from public life and spend time with his wife and grandchildren. To stay fit and be a presidential condidate after 4 yrs

If that be the true case, he should not have given the reason that he did not vote against the Congress alongwith the BJP. Somnath is not above rotten politics though holding the Speaker's chair. He wanted to be in power and so is continuing against the Party's dictums. In case he thought he is above partylines, he should have on his resigned from the CPI on selection as Speaker four years ago.
