Left owe allegiance outside India: Sheila Dikshit

Kochi, March 6: Criticising the Communist parties for their stand on the Indo-US nuke deal, senior Congress leader and Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said they were opposing every step the UPA government was taking to develop the country.

"Those who say they are fighting communal forces are trying to bring down the UPA government. We cannot understand the ideology of the Communists. They are not the nationalists we thought they were," she said addressing women Congress workers in Kerala.

Maintaining that the Congress has built the nation 'brick by brick', she said it was a shame to note that some partners of the ruling UPA do not see India in the same perspective as the Congress does. "Why don't they want India to prosper, do well and sign the nuke deal?" she asked.

Dikshit alleged the Left parties owe allegiance to countries outside India and not India. "Why do they oppose it for India and not for their supposed friends -- China and Russia? she asked adding, ‘they do something, mean something else and say a third thing’.

On the Nandigram issue, she said in West Bengal, there have been riots when poor farmers had not been given their rightful compensation for their land.

She alleged the Left parties had one set of parameters for their government in West Bengal, another for the country and yet another for the UPA government, she said.

Dikshit said Congress president Sonia Gandhi has given development a 'human face'. Farmers and women of India have all got relief in the budget. "Thanks to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, India's growth rate has touched 9 per cent," she said.

THE NATION DOES’T WANT THE ABOMINABLE LEFT AND DICTATORS. by A.Mahadevan on 06 Mar 2008

The Left has imprisoned the entire country. Who do they think they are? They are a bunch of self-centred ignorant dreamers. The people of the country are sick and tired of the irresponsible behaviours of the Left. The nation demands the Congress leadership to dissolve the parliament and go to the polls to establish the judgement of the people whose democratic rights cannot be ignored

Leftists , Come demonstrate your patriotism by Satindar on 06 Mar 2008

If the leftist parties have any guts or shame , they should demonstrate by condemning. China for its ill intentions towards India and its absurd claims to Indian territories.China never in the past had any direct border with India. Illegal usurption of Tibet which went unchallenged is the beginning and the cause of all these troubles.Let the leftists demonstrate that they are patriots

Left owe allegiance out side India by Jaydeb Ghosh on 06 Mar 2008

Comunist parties have always their allience to Chona or Russia. They overlook the wrong doing of their friend. Last 900 workers died in mining or related incident and they were mum. Remeber 1962, China's agression? 0ur CMP had supported China. They are always have a double standard.

Why blame communists by Arif on 06 Mar 2008

The Indian Communists are at historical animosity with the US , the communists are okay if we sign deals with France and Russia! We can live up to that, there is no reason to believe had the BJP been in power there would have been no opposition to the anti US nuke deal, keeping in mind the similar stalling process seen in the previous Govt. Any way Nuclear energy is the most expensive form of energy and can never meet more that 15% of your requirements. India has a huge potential of Hydro which need to be exploited – The attempt of Congress and BJP to make the US Nuke deal a solution to all ills in Power is the biggest make believe lie. What is being done is trying to hide decades of negligence, prevent other investments in Power and propaganda. Welcome to another decade of power cuts!!

This Government has done fairly well in the given condidtions, had it been given a full mandate by the nation, we could have been much better off than we are now. Let's make an all out effort to bring back ManMohan singh and his trusted men so that we can prosper, Chase our Dreams, Accomplish them and more importantly live in peace not pieces.

The crooks are danger to India's development and nation building by DILIP/FRANCE on 06 Mar 2008

Bascically the Communist/Jihadi nexuas are evil and punget.They are anti USA/WEST, because they are well aware that the USA/WEST kicked their ass in the Eastern Europe,ex Soviet union,North Korea,Cuba and how the Chinese have taken liking to wearing DKN clothes and eating Macdonald.Communist thugs were never Nationalist and never worked towards nation building, and they and their complicit,the treacherous Jihadis have always conspired to subvert and destabilise India.They are anti Nuclear deal because,when ratified this deal will provide economic boon to growth and abundant energy to light up all the villages,empower the frmers,the villagres, ignorants and misinformed. The communits derives their power base from the ignorants,mininformed,misguided,misconceptions,dodgy ideology and the ones who are brainwashed.These illiterate mupptets will soon become surplus to political requirements, as the literacy rates increases and the poor are lifted poverty. This process has started and the thugs will not be able to reverse the dynamics.India must go ahead and ratify the treaty for the sake of development and progress.
