CPI(M) to contest 3 Seats in Tamil Nadu


Communist Party of India Marxist reached a settlement with the AIDMK in Tamil Nadu regarding seat sharing in the Lok Sabha election. After a delay both parties today reached the agreement. According to the agreement CPI(M) will contest from 3 seats viz Kanniyakumari, Madurai and Coimbatore. Kanniyakumari and Madurai are the sitting seats of CPI(M). This time CPI(M) is in alliance with AIDMK led front which includes PMK, MDMK and CPI. The alliance is all set to sweep the polls. On the other hand the DMK led front is facing a daunting task. The anti -caste movements, anti-imperialist movements and the movements against price hikes have given CPI(M) much credibility among the voters in tamil nadu. The increased support of CPI(M) was seen when the party held its 19th party congress in coimbatore last year.
