<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->"We can pull down the [UPA] government in one day. But if we pull it down, there is no guarantee that we will be able to provide an alternative at the Centre. We don't have that strength," Basu told a May Day rally in Kolkata.
He said that the CPI(M) had not expanded beyond West Bengal, Kerala and Tripura. "We have to keep this government for five years. By then we will know our strength."
"We are not really expanding beyond the three states. Not only the party, but our mass organisations and trade unions are also not expanding," he admitted.

Yes, only 3 states had gone into drain, whole country is left.
