As always CPM can keep BJP away from power only in 3 states of West Bengal, Kerala and Tripura. They have absolutely no base in other states and i don't know how they r going to stop BJP in Madhya pradesh, Jharkhand and Rajastan. Although the communal forces should be opposed, it should not be like opposing Hindu fundamentalism and supporting minority fundamentalism. That is the mistake repeatedly made by CPM in recent times.
