SPEAKER’S DILEMMA

It is a very rare moment for the Party and the Partisan to be right in their viewpoints and get divorced as both were perfectly alright.

Though the party is modern, the mindset is feudal and naturally the orders not be otherwise. But the whole episode took an unexpected turn when the proletariat’s feudal order landed upon the landlord minded partisan.

The Party has always been keeping its views on parliamentary democracy, a love-hate relationship. Today’s vibrant views will be tomorrow’s historical blunders and vice-versa.

Democracy, of course is the elixir only when the party is not in power. Once the party gets on to power the first victim should be the democracy. But in a democracy, it is the lifeblood for leaders to survive and followers to die fighting. Democracy has its own virtues and vices. While all the virtues are to be exploited by the leaders, the vices exploit the followers as lathis falling upon their backs

There is enough possibility for one to get fever if he sleeps with the guy or girl suffering from it. But no possibility for the sick to be cured of as he or she slept with a healthy one. It is also applicable in parliamentary democracy. The revolutionaries are highly inflammable in the parliamentary democracy experiments.

As healthy, never their virtues cure others bourgeois vices, but often happens otherwise and Chatterjee is not the last but latest victim. According to the party Somnath succumbed to injuries in the muscle flexing between working class virtues and democratic vices.

Earlier when the party nodded in negative to Com. Basu’s ambition and he lost the PMship between cup and lips he took the wise decision to stand by the party, lest the history would be otherwise for him to lose his party hold and PM status in a single stroke. Loss of power to the powerful is nothing less than death.

Though at a later date, when he was out of the danger zone, he could at least blame the party calling his loss as a historical blunder.

A decade is over by now, and it is more than enough for the party to take a u turn now. However, the quid pro quo dealings with democracy have helped the tumors to develop in the ideologic spine. Whatever are the explanations, the leaders grow up beyond the party, thanks to the lessons taught by the Congress. Their leaders are never bothered of the party’s stand but the other way round.

Com. Somnath Chatterjee is a symbol; symbol of the party limping from totalitarianism to democracy. Its hightime for the Party to be elevated or downgraded to be a democratic political party.

FAREWELL TO FACILITIES WITHOUT RESPONSIBILITIES

The words and deeds of the Congress leaders are like thunder and lightning; words useless as thunder but deeds often wreak havoc. Now as Somnath Chatterjee observed, it toughed the nadir making Gandhis on thousands dancing on the floors to the tune of Amar Singh.

A King Maker is a must if it is a hung parliament and the revolutionary responsibility of the CPI(M) General Secretary is limited to infusing life into any of these dead man prompting him to walk to the PM’s chair. Earlier it was Com. Surjeet to translate the poor peasant Deve Gowda into the prolific prime minister of the land. Com. Surjeet, who was badly suffering from Soniamania later fell in love with Dr. Singh known for his World Bank affiliations she declined the proposal, the President only knows the reason.

The night of the responsibility ends with the dawn of favours and facilities. Once crowned, its King’s turn to serve the Kingmaker. PM ensured that the revolutionaries enjoy all the bourgeois facilities so that they could invoke an Indian revolution as early as possible.

The Marxists always think the Congress leaders’ IQ is below poverty line and they themselves are known for their intelligence. They underestimate others and overestimate themselves and soon find themselves in the pitfalls.

When it was of no use Dr. Singh pretended to follow the blind Left; all were equally happy. The followers of the party could even think of the futility of a revolution so long as they are the kingmakers.

When the right moment arrived in the form of affiliation to Yankis, Sardar stood on his feet asking the revolutionaries to follow him. It took sometime for them to read the writings on the wall that they are led to their memorial park. That time was more than enough for Sardar to fix his tent. Left was left with no other options but to quit.

Mr. Advani and Dr. Singh were the birds of same feather when it comes to signing of the agreement with US.

Considering the nationwide protest, Advani thought it would be great if Sardar signs it himself. Sardar will be debited with the left’s wrath and himself will be credited for protecting the national interest.

In the meantime, Messiah shook hands with the Sangh parivar, the Satan so far and started bhoomipooja for next election. Advani assured that all of us together will make Madam’s heaven into a hell, and the left took his words into confidence first. Soon the revolutionary sixth sense started maneuvering some games with Mayawati the great. It was not too long for him to forget how they brought down A B Vajpayee.

Mayawati’s strength is the 17 out of 545 and that number is more than enough for her to become the PM according to Karat; democracy redefined, making himself a jester and prompting Advani change the guard. For the Sangh Parivar, it was the right decision of the moment throwing the left agenda to western winds. The left did nothing else, but committed suicide.

Sangh parivar turned out to be the winner; they could repair the fabric of the so-called national interest on others’ cost.

After the assassination of Caesar, Brutus said, “I killed Caesar not that I loved him less, but I loved Rome more”
