Quoted in 'I am India's messenger, says the Dalai Lama'

Dalai Lama said in DNA India:

In the early period, Mao Zedong was okay. But in the later period, power spoilt him ... In 1954, I saw how he was dedicated to the people. Mao always said communists must take criticism from people, otherwise, they'll be like fish without water. But by 1957 all those criticising the communists were eliminated. So the ideology wasn't practiced too well, some hypocrisy [was there].
