“whether the politics is played as per the Law or Constitution”

the _STATED_ goal of the left is the destruction of India and its constitution because they are weapons of the “oppressors”.

Why should people whose goal is to destroy the game be allowed to play the game?

Democracy and Freedom is not a license to commit National Suicide.

Freedom is not Free - People whose goal is to remove freedom - “_DICTATORSHIP_ of the proletariat” - (communists) must be banned.

The point is - that is how the competitive politics works in a democracy. One person’s conspiracy theory becomes the play book or political agenda for the other. As long as the game is played as per the rules, everything is fair. And you have to understand at each stage every single player and political force would try to manipulate even the rules of the game to her advantage.

It becomes less useful to understand such so-called conspiracies of either Left or BJP or Congress. What is more useful is to constantly see:
- whether the politics is played as per the Law or Constitution and
- whether the ruling party is executing what it claims to achieve.

In case of Left, the opposition is failing to do that. If you have Mamata fighting with Congress, you have less chance of removing CPM from power in Bengal. In Kerala, so many times CPM has been removed from the power. And what about other states? Left has singularly failed to make dent into power base of regional parties despite the fertile ground for their kind of ideology in those states.

I do not subscribe to Left’s ideology nor wish them electoral success. But that should not make me to worry about their conspiracy theories. At this point of India’s Democratic evolution, we should be less worried about any conspiracy theories. It is like what Indira Gandhi used to call “CIA’s hand”. We know that hardly CIA worried to bother about India’s domestic politics as well as framing this way it hardly resolves our problems. Get over with any kind of conspiracy theories and deal with Indian politics what it is - competitive party based politics in a democracy. SL Rao is simply an old horse reciting worn out ways.

I agree that though the Left generally has an educated elite class at its helm (Politburo etc) in India, I do not really buy that theory as well. However is sounds eerie and sometimes even true. I hope not.

Now that they “control” the center it sounds even more dangerous
