The comrades did not even spare Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. They called him a traitor and ran many muddling campaigns against him. In one of the most infamous cartoons, published in the People's War, the mouthpiece of the Communist party of India, Netaji was depicted as a Donkey carrying a Japanese man (perhaps Tojo, the then prime minister of Japan) on his back.
During the 62 war, every Indian was shocked and anguished by the Chinese aggression, but not the Communists. They openly supported the Chinese.
In the 50s, India could not even produce enough crops to feed its hungry citizens. We were at the mercy of foreign nations, who would give us grains that were fit only for the animals. As a result of this, our think tank decided to launch the Green revolution in the country. But the comrades strongly opposed this proposal. Thankfully our leadership did not budge and went ahead with its decision. At the end, the Green revolution turned out to be a huge success for the country. It brought a quantum jump in the production of crops and helped us become self sufficient in terms of food.
The Left front fought tooth and nail against the IT revolution and also against the opening of the Indian economy. But look what they have done to the country today. They did not just bring millions of jobs to India but also exposed us to the latest technologies. Today India is the second fastest developing economy of the world, and we are expected to become the third largest economy by 2050.
The entire country was jubilant after Pokharan II, but the Communists were busy criticising the government along with the Pakistanis and the Chinese ! Their support for China on the Tibet issue and their relationship with the Maoists of Nepal need no introduction.
West Bengal was once an epicentre of India's progress and development. But thanks to the introduction of union baazi and bundh culture, today it is no where in the reckoning. Over 25 years of uninterrupted rule by the Communists has degraded the business environment of the state to such an extent, that in a recent study, it was found that West Bengal, lags even behind states like Jharkhand and Bihar in terms of facilitating business. The comrades are also guilty of polluting the great Bengali culture. Once upon a time, Bengal used to produce the likes of Swami Vivekanand, Rabindra Nath Tagore, Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose etc. But today it is synonymous with unemployed youths bundled together in the 'clubs', dotting every nook & corner of Bengal. These youths waste their time in playing Carrom, Cards, discussing politics and doubling up as political hoodlums. The Communist party has politicised the police, they have politicised the media and they have even politicised the schools & colleges of Bengal.
They claim to be pro poor and aim at establishing a classless society. Ironically, their top leader Jyoti Basu, spends his evenings in the company of expensive Scotch, a peg of which costs more than the monthly income of many poor men in Bengal. His son, Chandan Basu is a business tycoon, owning top end cars like Mercedes Benz, Toyota Corolla and Toyota Landcruiser Amazon.
For centuries the comrades have been propagating their romantic idea all around the world. However, a quick look at history is enough to pooh-pooh their rhetoric. West Germany and East Germany comprised of same people with same culture & same language. The only difference between them was the fact that West Germany became a democratic country whereas East Germany embraced Communism. After few decades, West Germany progressed rapidly. While, East Germany remained stuck with times. The same story was repeated with the Koreans too. A democratic South Korea has become a first world country. Whereas a Communist North Korea is no where close to it. In USSR, people had to stand in long queues to get something as miniscule as a loaf of bread or a packet of milk. And hence, today it is a matter of the past. Even China started developing only after it shunned the Communist model of command economy.
Communism is a tried, tested and failed philosophy. It has not been able to produce a single first world country till date. On the contrary, it has gone on to ruin the economy and lives of many countries in the world. As far as Communism in India is concerned, the track record of the Communist party indicates that knowingly or unknowingly, they have always acted against the interests of India. Therefore its high time we say good bye to the comrades, and leave the left front alone.

Can't say which political party should be left alone one thing for sure it's only the Indian poor which has been left alone by Indian political system.
Economic growth in terms of percentage has no significance in the midst of poverty.In western countries the political system work to integrate all sections of the society they investigate every problem and the findings are then implemented as law but in our country the investigations doesn't have any conclusions some of them even run for over 20 years with no result but it gives the tool to political system how to cover up next massacre and scams.In our country the political parties always find the means to disintegrate the people by means of religion, region and caste It doesn't matter it's left, right or center.
Be it 1984 Sikh Riot, 1992 Aftermath Babri Masjid Demolition,Post Godhra riots none of the left right and center parties have come with the solutions and implementation to stop it forever.
Today the political parties have also started dictating who should go out for parole(in case of Manu Sharma case), who should speak what language (in case of MNS), To invest taxpayer's money for their glorification(BSP),who should get job and education-reservation (Congress).
The question is whether in 21st century the people of democratic India have been left alone by bad politics and governance?
A very pertinent & a strong comment Anil. Kudos
