Comrade Jesus?

I was quite amused by the news that the CPM has hailed Jesus Christ as history's greatest liberation warrior. It has gone on to amplify that Jesus has stood for liberation of the oppressed throughout his lifetime and hence, communists and Christians could work together in liberating people from exploitation!

I've been 'enlightened' by this latest school of thought. And saddened too. Does the party require any additional props to be acceptable to the masses? Has its earlier stance of not wooing any religious sections, towards bolstering its votebank, been cast away? Reminds one of the same party's eagerness to embrace the acute thinking 'NDF' for electoral gains during the last elections to the state's legislature with disastrous results.

Why don't the political parties understand that the common man needs just good governance whereby he enjoys the fruits of all round development and the country's wealth is equitably distributed to one and all - to bring about a substantial reduction in gap between the rich and the poor till it vanishes absolutely? A Utopian dream, perhaps!

But definitely attainable if one did not elect the fraudsters and the fixers into the law making bodies! In other words, it's possible if clean men and women are elected and positioned at the helm whose only 'mantra' is to serve the people without wanting anything in return!!

 Till then, it's 'Comrade Jesus Zindabad', 'Inquilab Zindabad'!!!
