CPM banks to a great extent on the rural and the poverty vote. Their policies have to be directed to-wards them but only policies-they do not have the means to improve their lot and fool the people of "anti people" policies by labelling the investors capitalists etc. Sad but the plight of the common man has not significantly improved. Now many will say neither has that in the non communist states either which is also true but employment opportunities are greater and atlest there is hope.
