Left is supposed to be a party of Politburo members and not individuals but here Prakash karat is behaving as an autocratic..The sad thing is that a person who never contested an election or never faced the music of election is showing adamacy in the party..If by any means left want to regain they need to rethink about Prakash karat and throw him out of the membership.. If they keep on following the same old theories of socialism they will never come up...they need to opt socialism with a touch of modern capitalism theory..It is time to say good bye to hardliners of left if they want to survive in Indian politics..they need to understand India is not Cuba or Vietnam with 1-2 crore of population..India is also not China who speaks one language and religion..India is higly diversified and it need a different strategy
