Four states in the country including the most populous state of Uttar Pradesh are going to polls in February. Ruling class parties are once again trying to deceive the people while they have no answer to the real problems being faced by the people. They are trying to utilize the caste and communal division in the society to gain or retain power.

The elections will be very significant for the ruling NDA as BJP and its allies have been ruling in all the states and the adverse result in UP can undermine the position of BJP leading the ruling alliance at the Centre. Seeing the importance of these elections for the survival of its Govt. RSS-BJP have once again queered the pitch of Masjid-Mandir controversy with Govt. and VHP taking apparently contradictory postures.

In the coming assembly elections in four states- Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttaranchal and Manipur, CPI(ML) is contesting elections in select constituencies. CPI(ML) is propagating the politics of new democratic revolution and its line on various questions in these elections. CPI(ML) is highlighting the demand for quitting WTO, of land to the tiller and is propagating against the policies of the ruling class parties.

CPI(ML) neither has any understanding with any ruling class party or revisionist party nor is supporting any candidate of these parties in any constituency in these states.

CPI(ML) has fielded candidates from six assembly constituencies in Punjab- namely Dinanagar in Gurdaspur district, Nawashahr in Nawashahr district, Bagha Purana and Nihalsinghwala in Moga district, Raikot in Ludhiana district and Sultanpur Lodhi in Kapurthala district. In another constituency- Malout in Muktasar district, elections have been countermanded due to death of Akali Dal candidate.

CPI(ML) has fielded its candidate in UP from Bara assembly constituency in Allahabad district. In Uttaranchal, CPI(ML) is contesting from Tehri constituency in Tehri Garhwal district of the state.
