Next elections around check the proportion of nationwide individual votes received by the communists - Yes 12%.
Also you would observe they have contested more seats than any other party including BJP and Congress. Yes even against their allies in these states.
Note the discipline of the commie cadre even when drunk, they would be alert and are more professional goondas than the Bajrang Dal, RSS or VHP.
Once entrenched they are very very difficult to dislodge.
Dear Dennis,
Also appreciate their RCA and systematic CPA, which other party have bothered to clarify matters to the public through any forums.
Have you heard of the most effective forums for corporate communication i.e. word of mouth, one on one, tool box meetings, shift handovers, outreach - all these are culture (long past innovation).
Respect the enemies of the state, else all is lost.
