Dip Dutt: Do you think every teacher in WB is CPIM supporter, even if they are member of ABTA (CPIM's teacher wing)?
Its NOT.
CPIM undertook a study of a certain Para (Mohalla) in Burdwan Town, which is a red-bastion, on what newspaper they read. CPIM was surprised to see most people read Bartamaan, the anti-CPIM daily.
TODAY MOST CPIM SUPPORTERS ARE DOING CPIM BECAUSE IT HELPS THEM IN THEIR JOB, RUNNING BUSINESS, GETTING JOB ETC.
IF CPIM IS GONE, HARDLY ANYBODY WILL STICK TO CPIM.
THOSE DAYS OF HARDCORE CPIM CADRES, SUPPORTERS, WORKERS ARE GONE. DHANDA has taken over:)-
