It was quite clear that the Marxists have lost it. Now a comrade comfirms it with his idiocy.

To a layman with even very minimal political expertise, the list of follies committed by
the Marxists (CPI-M) in the recent past would be crystal clear. Mr. Karat sets the ball
rolling by killing the golden goose that let him wield power without any accompanying
responsibility by overplaying his cards and withdrawing support to the UPA government
at the Centre on the US-Nuclear deal issue.

Not to be left behind, comrade Vijayan replicates it at the State level by arm-twisting
their allies and allying with a communal element like Abdul Nasser Maudani, leading
to the party's rout in the recent Lok Sabha elections. His spat with VS also helped.

Ofcourse I have no problem with them shooting themselves in the leg. But I do have
a problem when they debase the name of an Indian freedom fighter by equating him
with one of their corrupt leaders.

Some guy called Suneet Chopra (never heard of him till yesterday) who happens to
be a CPI-M Central Committee member, has proven that not only is he not tuned to
public opinion, but is also pretty bad at basic Indian History.

This comrade made it amply clear that he was nowhere near his school premises when
history class was on, when he chose to equate Vijayan with Bhagat Singh, comparing the
Lavalin case with Singh’s throwing a bomb in the Central Assembly against the Defence
of India Act enacted by the British.

Nice, really nice. In a way, he has a point - both of them share the fact that they fought
for something. While Shaheed Bhagat Singh was a freedom fighter who laid down his life
fighting British rule in India, Comrade Vijayan is fighting a case of corruption against him wherein he has been charged with taking a bribe.

Ofcourse only a Marxist would be able to see a similarity here between someone who
fought for his ideals and another who lacked any.

When pointed out that unlike Vijayan, Singh was not charged for corruption, Chopra
still held his (shaky) ground, claiming a grand conspiracy against the Communists.
Conspiracy, eh ? Does anyone need to take the trouble to conspire against the Marxists
when their own Karat & Co. are already doing a pretty great job of leading the party to
extinction with their suicidal political manouvres.

Looks like idiocy has no limits in the Indian political scene.
