[Reader-list] [Announcements] Rally to Protest Nandigram

[venkat t]

thats a nice analogy, it is important to make it to.

CPM and thier counterparts across the workld, in russia and china cry down
every one else as a petty bourgeoise revisionist, but here is a CM, who is
endorsed by the entire spectrum of left in india (ofcourse not the MLs), who
dares to openly commit himself to an non communist social order. "I cannot
grow communism in this part of the country"- buddha, in an interveiw to
HINDU.

what hypocracy, what betrayal..................
