I was reading todays editorial from the communist parties propoganda paper(Some people call it Hindu). This para was very very interesting.
“By displaying an amazing propensity to switch from one end of the political spectrum to another, the DIC(K) actually damaged its credibility. Indeed, the apprehensions voiced within the LDF that the DIC(K), an offshoot of the Congress, was unreliable as an ally seemed entirely justified. Not surprisingly, the UDF was also wary of a party that could switch sides with such ease.“
Wow. Look who is talking about credibility. We are all in for a great entertainment during april and may. Communists will campaign for congress in tamilnadu. Cross the border and campaign against congress. Vice versa for congress too. Tch tch!
I really pity Sonia and Manmohan Singh when they tour the southern states for campaign. The people who prepare their speech must be extremely careful. Else it might end up with Sonia praising communists in Kerala, and saying things against them in Tamilnadu.
And here we have someone from the communist party talking about switching from end of political spectrum to another, that too in an editorial. Wow!

You still follow this muck?! For seats, these parties will go to any extent. Like you mention, it would be fun to see how the speeches are drafted.

one satisfying factor was the cartoon of Karunakaran declaring they will be on their own !

Did you notice that they actually had a survey titled “Voice Your Views : Blogs: Boon or bane” . I commented on it yesterday ( http://broken-news.blogspot.com/2006/03/maha-vishnu-on-blogging_22.html)
