	The men in the ‘Bush’ shirts
	Author : Kishore Ajwani The so-called Communist parties want us to believe that there’s going to be a Third Front government this time around. I don’t want to go into the numerical possibilities of such a scenario, but what really bothers me is that why do we let the Communists get away with sounding ‘moral’ and ‘ideological’ about it? Does Mr. Karat support the naked casteist politics of Ms Mayawati? What governance capability does he see in Mr. Deve Gowda? Now they want Naveen Patnaik on their side! Just because he kicked the BJP out! Naveen maintains that it was due to the failure of the seat-sharing talks but the Communists would like to make us believe that he was horrified with Kandhamal. What’s exactly their vision for this nation? If this is what the ‘educated’, ‘intellectual’ politicians of this country are going to dish out, give me the illiterate bumpkins any day! Nobody’s suggesting here that the Congress or the BJP don’t succumb to such politics but what appalls me is the self-righteousness with which the Communists ‘talk down’ to other players in this cesspool. They are involved with all kinds of ‘mucky’ ailments this ‘system’ of ours suffers from. In fact, they encourage, support, feed, prop-up all kinds of players who make us ashamed of our polity. Yet, they want us to see them as the only flag-bearers of ‘honest’ politics based on ‘principles’! Okay, so Mr. Karat does not dirty his hands. Great! But look at the hands he’s holding. They would shout from the rooftops about criminalization of politics, communalization of politics, casteism in politics, money power, and muscle power… the list goes on. And then hold hands in the ‘1977’ kind of pose for photographers with Bhajan Lal, Mayawati, Deve Gowda, Chandrababu, and Naveen Patnaik…gimme a break! Just because the comrades have a Spartan lifestyle, we are supposed to believe they are ‘clean’! A ‘half-sleeves’ shirt (catch them calling it a Bush shirt and you win a trip to Ponnani!) not tucked into those cotton trousers worn on leather sandals is supposed to be the look of a man with ‘principles’, take it or leave it. We’ll leave it at that.

we have two options as prime minister one one hand mr manmohan singh the architect of economic boom in india we shuld not forget th policy made by hin as a finance minster in cabinet of late narshinah rao goverment it is due to this policy we got a free market stautus to india and many forigen country started investing in india and the outsoursing from the forigen countries to india which created many call centers altimatley which where the source of upliftment of indian middle class and also made india an Informaton technology and computer software hub. adding feather to his cap now the necular deal to gain which he even put his prime ministership at stake and just to keep in mind at this time of global economics crises there cannot be a second choice rather the this great economist as a prime minster and othe othe other hand we have mr l.k.advani who is very secular person and for sure as secular as mohmmed ali jinnah so its upto we indian to make a right choice.......

Mr. Kishore I think that only Congress is the only party to be supported in the Election. Only in Congress we can find a genuine and good leader like Parnab Mukherjee, Man Mohan Singh, Sonai Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and many more, who just think about India progress not their personal progress. And this time because of E-Media the peoples are also aware what is wrong and what is right for them so just wait for a very good result for our Great India.

CONGRESS is the only party to be supported in the elections as the top leaders in it are well educated who can really understand something. Manmohan is an economics major and therfore can put in some valuable input in economy not someone like LK Advani.............Even the policies followed by the govt. are good which can be seen by the rate of development of INDIA.....those who site this recent crisis as a loophole should know that this problem is a worldwide problem and not concentrated to any one nation.

Well Mr. Kishor One thing is sure all those who opposing mr. Manmohan singh As Prime Minister are short of mind. They did Not know what he is doing for country . Every body in world except indian are not knowing is capability.We have a Kohinoor hira but never know his value. All those parties who are making his own alliance and leaving congress just for vote and showing their importance are showing his moral character. so people should teach the lesson to those parties and wash out them completely.

Well, you rightly said as to what qualities of governance Mr prakash Karat sees in Mayawati. What she has achieved in UP. She still calls her a dalit who has tens of millions of assets. From where she amassed all these. Are the communists blind? She cant read a few simple lines orally. What she understands the intricasies of governing such a huge nation.God save India from Mayawati and communists of India. God forbid, if at all she becomes PM, Only development India will see is all over statues of Kanshi Ram And Mayawati and casteism everywhere.All such people should be packed and thrown into the sea.
