    I hope CPIM will get more vote share this time. Party will win at least 2 assembly seats also. CPM will win from Shimla Urban seat. This is sure seat. Sometime party will win another 2-3 seats also. After 10-15 years, CPM will rule Himachal Pradesh. Shimla Muncipal election result is good example. People want a ruling change.

      In my opinion – this time CPIM is going to win 03-04 seats. Definitely this opening is going to change the political scenario of Himachal shortly in future since cpim leadership, cadre and their credentials are no match to other political outfits.

    There is no alternative force in Himachal Pradesh except CPI(M). The state already witnessed the corrupted regime of Congress and BJP’s anti poor polices will vote for change in poltical power. At present CPM is the only party that cannot be blamed for misrule and corupted regime in HP. And the people are naturally lenient towards its progressive policies.

      Agreed – there is vacuum and that needs to be filled. It’s up to progressive forces how they explore and motivate general masses in their favor through organised political awakening and people oriented struggles in right direction. CPIM is definitely force to reckon in Himachal from last three decades. But in parliamentary politics not succeeded as it should be. Now though continuous mass struggles and well oiled organisation they are going to make it big in coming days.

    It is time the Himachal Pradesh gets the change. The alternative is available in front of its people. CPI(M) should win handful of seats to have a sizeable number in the assembly. All the best.

    Talking of communism? It’s sensible, anyone can understand it. It’s easy. If you are not an exploiter, you can grasp it. It’s good for you; find out about it. The stupid call it stupid, the rotten call it rotten. It’s against what is rotten and against stupidity. The exploiters call it a crime. But we know it is the end of the crime. It is not madness, but the end of madness; it is not chaos, but order. It is the simple thing, so hard to bring about.
