CPIM Rally in Sikar

The writing on the wall is quite clear, Amra Ram,CPI(M) central committee member and four-time MLA's entry into the electoral struggle in Sikar parliamentary constituency had become a nightmare to the BJP and Congress. Sikar is considerd to be the bastion of communist movement in Rajastan. As Frontline denotes:

"Unlike the dominant parties in the State and some others who are trying to get a foothold on the basis of “social engineering”, the Left parties do not bother about “caste calculations”. In fact, the CPI(M) managed to win the three Assembly seats, for the first time, on the basis of the movements and struggles it had organised",

CPIM made foothold in the region through numerous struggles for the cause of the people. Comrade Vasudev, CPIM State Secretary said, CPI(M) had launched many a struggle in this region on the question of electricity and water. At least eight of its workers, including a woman, had lost theirlives in the police firing by Rani's (Vasundhara Raje’s) government. The successful struggle for the implementation of the NREGA in Sikar district has also helped in widening the base of the Party among the landless and rural poor. Whether it was the struggle of peasants and youth or whether it was the struggle against the price rise or any thing, Amra Ram and CPI(M) had been in the forefront supporting their issues and forcefully raising them in Rajasthan state assembly for fifteen years. He futher added "In the last election, CPI(M) gave a call to defeat BJP and Congress and to increase the number of Left representation from 'ek to anek'. People had supported us and increased our strength from the usual single MLA to three MLAs. With the six members of the BSP who got elected joining Congress en bloc, the CPI(M) has become the third largest party in the assembly.This time around our slogan is "Kam Se Kam Ek". He appealed to the people of Sikar saying that the time has come for them to support to send Amra Ram to Delhi to raise the voice of the poor and downtrodden and kisans, not only of Sikar but of Rajasthan because no one raises those issue in the Lok Sabha from Rajasthan.
Sikar parliamentary constituency consists of dhod, dantaramgarh, sikar, laxmangarh, khandela, srimadhopur, neemkathana and chomu assembly segments. In the 2008 assembly elections CPIM won the assembly segments of Dhod and Dataramgarh. Pema Ram and Amra Ram were elected from there. Party polled 47,840 and 45,909 votes respectively from these 2 constituenceis. In Lakshmangarh and Sikar party lost the battle by narrow margin. In Khandela and Srimadhopur party polled around 17000 and 20000 respectively. We didnt contested neemkathana and chomu segments. The party and its machinery is working to make inroads in the last two assembly segments by concentrating more and according to reports there is overwhelming responce from the people. The campaign is in full peak now and popular party leaders from other districts too are campaining in sikar. More than 7000 people attended when our candidate submitted his nomination form.The workers are fully charged and we are also get ting good financial support from people . Forseeing the defeat the dissatisfied bjp members are siding with congress. But our party workers are quite confident that Lal Lal Laherayega, Amra Delhi Jayega
