Prakash Karat-The Utopian Chief of India's Left

Mr. Praksh Karat,the Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader addressing a press conference after releasing the party's manifesto for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, accused the UPA government of committing the "biggest betrayal" by forging a strategic alliance with the U.S.

He says if his '3rd front' comes to power at the centre,it will review and rework the nuclear deal.

But the problem for Karat is the big "if".If the '3rd front' comes to power...
It won't come to power,so Karat won't need to take the pain of a 'review and rework'.

He is a real fool if he is dreaming of ruling India with his '3rd front crowd',which already is fighting over 'who is going to be the PM'...
Mayawati wants the '3rd front crowd' to declare her as the PM candidate and she is going to contest the elections alone.Jayalalitha is ready to become PM for ages..
Deve Gowda dreams of having a nice sleep sitting in the PMs' chair..
Who knows,may be even Karat wants to be PM..

He should first of all try and fix his party headed ruling combine's infighting in Kerala,which is triggered in the first place by his party itself.In Kerala,there is infighting within his party and between his party and the party's partners...

It's absolutelty clear that his party and the so-called left-front won't get anywhere near the number of seats they got in the last Lok Sabha election,this time.

He criticised the BJP for following a communal agenda, and said it would not come to power. Referring to the attacks against minorities in the BJP-ruled Karnataka and in Kandhamal area of Orissa, where the BJP was in the ruling alliance, he said: 'The country cannot accept such a party pursuing the communal agenda.'

The irony is,Karat's party is wooing the earlier partner of BJP in Orissa,BJD to enter into the '3rd front'.It was BJD's Biju Patnaik who was the CM of orissa when all the communal violence that shook Orissa happened.BJD broke away from BJP only because of differences in seat-sharing.But Karat does not care about all this.This is a simple case of a really big 'double-standard'...

Emphasising the need for a non-Congress, non-BJP government at the centre, he said: 'We have spelled out alternative policies and want the new government to follow them. We need a non-Congress, non-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alternative government.'

With a party having an all India strength confined only to Kerala,West Bengal and Tripura,he has the audacity to say that the new Government will have to follow the policies spelled out by him.. ;-D

The CPI-M general secretary alleged that the UPA government had adopted an 'attitude of hesitation and compromise' on communal issues. He referred to attacks on minorities in Orissa and Karnataka and the central government's delay in intervening to curb the violence.

He rightly criticizes the BJP for having a communal agenda.But for God's sake,then what's TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu and many other leaders who till few years or few months or few days ago were with the communal BJP,doing in the '3rd front crowd'..!!
Mayawati,Jayalalitha etc were BJP's partners at one time or the other.Deva Gowda's son Kumaraswamy,who is also a 3rd front leader,ruled Karnataka with the support of BJP,till recently.Is Karat saying that now those individuals and parties are secular,because they are with him,at this moment..??

Mr.Karat will be making a fool of himself if he is trusting his new so-called secular friends.They have the 'thick-skiness' to jump to any of the other two fronts,any time...

So it's better not to talk much about anti-communalism,it's only about oppurtunism...

Also for another reason Karat does not have the moral authority to talk about communalism.His party in Kerala openly seeks and is being backed by the overtly communal PDP of Abdul Nasar Madani.This is the same Madani,who was send to jail for terror linkages.One of the reason for the fight his party is having with another communist party in Kerala is because his party has put up a PDP supported candidate in Ponnani consituency.

The sort of person Karat is can be guaged from the fact that he claims credit for whatever good things he feels the UPA government has done.He had claimed credit for protecting thousands of jobs and the money invested in insurance, banking and pension, saying only constant Left intervention had kept the country's financial sector healthy...!!

So whatever good things that happened and is happening and that's going to happen in India is because of Mr.Prakash Karat.What rubbish..!!

May be in future,some other leader of Jyothi Basu's stature will term the elevation of Karat as Left chief as the 'second major historical blunder' committed by the left forces of India.

But as of now Karat really is a '24-Karat' Gold...!!!!!
