Indian Marxists get a new chief and first lady: may be ready to take control of central Government in next election
CPM – the Communist Party of India (Marxists) went for a little new younger blood in leadership and politburo memberships. Sources say they are getting ready for the next election when India can for the first time turn to a coalition Government led by the Marxists for the first time. Common people in India are unhappy with BJP and Congress who have cared for the elite middleclass and international companies. The remote rural sector and the farmers have been neglected.
According to PTI, Prakash Karat was on Monday unanimously elected as General Secretary of the CPM. 56-year-old Karat takes over from Harkishen Singh Surjeet, who at 89 years offered to step down from the post.
Karat's wife, Brinda, became the first woman entrant to the all-male polit-bureau of the party.
The election of Karat was announced at the closing session of the six-day Congress here.
91-year-old former West Bengal Chief Minister Jyoti Basu, who had also expressed his desire to quit the polit bureau was retained in the polit bureau along with Surjeet.
The new politburo comprises Harkishen Singh Surjeet, Jyoti Basu, Prakash Karat, V S Achuthanandan, S Ramachandran Pillai, Sitaram Yechury, R Umanath, M K Pandhe, Biman Basu, Anil Biswas, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar, Pinarai Vijayan, West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadev Battacharya.
The four new members elected are Chittravratha Majumdar, K Varadarajan, B V Raghavulu and Brinda Karat. 85 members were also elected to the new central committee.
