Dip Dutt: CPIM has a superb election machinery, who manage elections well on the election day.
They even know the people who will not be present on the election day (because they have died, out of station etc etc). And CPIM use those people for proxy vote.
If you deny CPIM acts above board, never indulges in election fraud --you never lived in WB. Or a CPIM cadre.
Buddha's big win in last election were because of several factors:
(1) CPIM communalised the election by extensive campaign on Gujarat , specially in Muslim areas showing VCDs. Some of them were even banned by Election commission.
This alienated TMC's muslim base. CPIM did the same thing in Kerala. TODAY, CPIM IS FIGHTING WITH JAMAT-ULEMA HIND, and other Muslim groups both in Kerala and WB.
(2) The late compared ANIL BISWAS was a superb tactician, and they played master stroke by replacing Jyoti Basu by Buddha THUS DENYING ANTI-INCUMBENCY.
