This is one of the most downgraded interviews I have read. What shit statement's Bardhan is making. It is sheer BULLSHITTING.Communism all over World is a failure & even the China known for its stubborn closeness to Communism had to change & open its arms to Capitalists. This guy might be in his dream World that India would be in the grips of Leftists - what an absurd comment by such a senior comrade !!! Well his audacity is too unbearable. He says BJP has named someone as its Prime Ministerial Candidate. Atleast show some respect to other parties - Advani is not a small person - definitely better than Bardhan. He further says - so what if BJP has won some states We have also won. But CPM is never able to break the barriers of Kerala & W Bengal. How can it be called a National Party - they just want to support Congress & enjoy all benefits without getting involved in Govt. running. Greatest opportunists under the Sun are CPM party & its cadre. I am sure in the coming elections the voters should kick out CPM / CPI altogether & preferably it should be one party rule either Congress or BJP. If it is going to be coalition with 15 parties - then even Great personalities like Manmohan Singh will be failures. I feel Congress should get full majority & give Manmohan Singh a second term to prove his merits - he would then be one of the Greatest PMs India has ever seen.
