PM FROM CPM, WHERE ARE THE NUMBERS?

This is with reference to the views expressed by Sri Sidarth Bhatia, editor with DNA, in the article, PM from CPM, on 27-04-09. AS per the survey the Third front is likely to get around one hundred seats including that of Ms Mayavathi’s BSP. Hence the question of third front forming the government does not arise. In the unforeseen scenario of third front staking a claim, there are other aspirants within the third front, the main contender being Ms Mayavathi herself. Indications are that the Left is not likely to get more than 35 seats. That is good news for Congress. The chances of hammer and sickle party getting the top post are very remote. People are aware the policies and programmes of the Left parties, their stand on libelaisation, foreign policy and on the I T and Telecom sectors. Their policies are regressive and not progressive. They are a great bottle neck in developmental works. As an opposition party they do a decent job and it is desirable that they sit in the opposition. Ms Mayavathi would be a better choice if that unforeseen scenerio becomes a reality.
