Anti-incumbency troubles BJP MP in battle with CPM
Ram is a known face as his party has a strong presence in the constituency. Though his campaign started slowly, people say it has caught up and he is putting up a formidable fight. What seems to be working in favour is the general resentment against BJP over the Agniveer scheme and the farmers agitation for an MSP guarantee legislation. Sumedhanand's 'reticence' in fulfilling local demands of the people has only increased his odds.
