priorities... modi does not know what issues to give importance to.

last year, india got declared "suicide capital of the world"... there are "honor" killings happening every month... people get killed by dogs... punjab is rife with cancers and drugs addition... india does not contribute to the world technologically... indian agriculture is inefficient in production and delivery and causes pollution and immediate health damages... people die of hunger in 2015... indian cities are among the most polluted in the world, are not at all planned cities, and living a good harmonious life is impossible because of crime, noise, lack of civic sense, general rudeness... india is called "rape capital", with some rape victims tortured to death in a utterly cruel manner... oh, i can go on.

and modi does his world tour, signs weapons deals and forces school students and office workers to do yoga on june 21st.

not to mention that there are major wars in the world and attempted regime-changes, and modi going to uno general assembly and talking about yoga !!

And you love Lybia because it has all this?

Seat of great communist party lol

Seats in Lok Sabha-9 / 545

Not even two digit figure

CPI(M) currently has nine MPs in Lok Sabha. CPI(M)'s highest tally was in 2004 when it got 5.66% of votes polled in and it had 43 MPs

This party will never touch two digit figure in India

It's not commonplace to see a Communist leader as a top Twitter trend. But on Monday, CPI-M general secretary Sitaram Yechury was strongly criticised by a section of Twitter users for his controversial remarks that yoga postures resembled a dog's movements.

As his comments regarding the International Yoga Day went viral, supporters of the ancient discipline and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's endeavour to celebrate it posted angry tweets directed at Yechury.

According to a PTI report, Yechury had on Sunday said: "All yoga exercises can be noticed in dog's body movement."

Speaking at an event to mark the birth anniversary of Communist ideologue Harkishan Singh Surjeet in Bhubaneswar, Yechury gave the example of a dog and said when the animal gets up, it stretches its front and rear legs and takes a deep breath.

The mass mobilisation by the BJP-led NDA government on Sunday to celebrate Yoga Day is an attempt to promote the Hindutva agenda at the cost of India's secular and democratic fabric, he said.

"Such mass mobilisation for yoga sessions is a tactic similar to that adopted by dictators in the past. Through such exercise, attention is diverted from basic issues confronting people," Yechury said.

While yoga is needed to improve the quality of life, it is important to deal with hunger and starvation first, he said.

Journalist Swapan Dasgupta embedded a news report on the Left leader's remarks and tweeted, "The insights of Comrade Yechuri on Yoga."

Another user, Vismay (@vismayshah), whose profile describes him as a "Foot Soldier for cong mukt Bharat" (sic), tweeted: "Sitaram Yechury will open his umbrella in India, even if it rains in China!"

Many Twitter users took a swipe at the Left's dwindling status in Indian politics.
@PahaadiTweeter wrote, "Q: Why not to take Sitaram Yechury seriously?

Ans: He is leader of the party who has 9 MPs in LS (not even double digit)."

Oldtimer (@auldtimer) wrote, "Sitaram Yechury has put in dog's years in politics. If only he gained matching wisdom too."

User Hemant Kaliwada, tweeting with the handle @kaliwada, wrote, "No wonder with people like Sitaram Yechury at helm the Left has lost its relevance."

you are thinking from the perspective of the british parliamentary system... it was mistake of the post-60's separated public communist movement to insist on working solely through that system and not being a internationalist movement... this should be corrected.

Because the media expect stupid statements from sickular group all the time so to find space in news column on editions.

You can't correct any system, now world ruled by money and not ideology.West bengal and kerala already screwed by this communist.Look at Kolkatta it was the biggest city in india, every infrastructure was at top, now can the city compare with delhi,mumbai or even bangalore ! Commies are just hot air, they criticize capitalism and send their kids for job in US,UK etc.Bunch of hypocrites..
