The electoral defeat suffered by the Left Front, led by the CPI(M), in West Bengal indeed calls for serious introspection. However, its critics - across a broad spectrum of ideologues ranging from those on the extreme Left to the right wingers and neo-libs - seem all too eager to 'write-off' the Left as a political force. These hurried attempts at epitaph-writing, that has played out on our 24x7 television channels over the last week, are way too premature, Left leaders have pointed out.
 
Meanwhile, the 'review exercise' or introspection that the party will undertake seriously is unlikely to lead to the kind of "reformed Left" that its critics are rooting for, writes Brinda Karat, CPI(M) Politburo member and Rajya Sabha MP.
