A very witty, tongue-in-cheek comment about the Left

A friend of mine recently forwarded an SMS to me. I found it quite witty and apt and am reproducing the essence here. I do not intend any offence to anyone… so apologies in advance. Apologies also to the one who came up with this originally- I do not know who you are, so I cannot cite you. But I do wish to  unabashedly acknowledge your creative genius.

The Left parties might want to consider changing their symbol to a condom. Here’s why…

A condom allows inflation, blocks production, destroys the next generation and creates a sense of security when you are actually being screwed…..

Personally, I think the Left should focus more on the inflation issue- which affects “aam janata” even more than the nuclear deal- at least in the short term. I also think the SP support to Congress is an unholy alliance. The SP will demand its pound of flesh sooner rather than later. In my opinion, the nation (and possibly, the Congress as well) would have been better off taking the decision to go to the IAEA a couple of months ago, even at the risk of early elections. The Indian electorate is much savvier than it is given credit for. If any political party is cogently able to explain its stance (keeping aside emotions, election rhetoric and rabble rousing tactics), I for one believe that the voters will deliver the right electoral verdict.
