Acting General Secretary will be appointed in September
Sitaram Yechury’s tenure was ending in April next year. According to the rules of the CPI(M) constitution, no person can hold the post of General Secretary in the CPI(M) for more than three terms. In such a situation, there was a debate whether Yechury should be made General Secretary again by amending the party constitution, but before that Sitaram Yechury passed away.
Meanwhile, who should replace Sitaram Yechury as acting general secretary in the CPI(M)? A discussion has started regarding this. The name of CPI(M) Bengal unit secretary and former MP Mohammad Salim is being discussed as the acting general secretary. Mohammad Salim has organizational as well as administrative experience. Mohammad Salim is a member of the Politburo as well as the Central Committee of the CPI(M).
Speculations on Mohammad Salim’s name have gained momentum
He has done national level politics as an MP and is considered equally proficient in Bengali, Hindi and English languages. As the state secretary of CPI(M) Bengal, he has strengthened the party organization. In such a situation, a section of the CPI(M) wants Mohammad Salim to take over the command of the party.
At the same time, leaders close to Mohammad Salim say he is not in favor of moving to Delhi now, as he has taken steps to strengthen the party organization in Bengal. Priority has been given to the youth and new responsibilities have been assigned to them. In such a situation, if he goes to Delhi, the party organization in Bengal may suffer.
