Watch your back

CPI-M and CPI leaders may be busy hosting a ‘Communist International’ sans Kremlin patronage. But closer home, many comrades are wondering how united is West Bengal’s Left Front in these Mamata days. They say West Bengal Socialist Party’s Kironmoy Nanda seeking an early poll may be just a tip of the iceberg.

Comrades are sniffing around to know whether there is more to Mamata Banerjee putting Deepa Dasmunsi in her place in Forward Bloc’s surprise victory from a Congress den. Further, not many are sure whether RSP will not do a Kerala-like splitting act before Assembly polls. Only CPI seems to be the ‘optionless’ firm ally of Big Brother.
