CPM begins four-day meet, likely to discuss Sitaram Yechury’s successor
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) today begun a four-day meet here to decide on steps to boost its organisation, especially in its erstwhile strongholds of West Bengal and Kerala.
The choice of a new general secretary of the party in the wake of the death of Sitaram Yechury will also figure in the deliberations.
The party is slated to assess the ground situation in West Bengal where it has lost several elections, including at the local levels. The review is being carried out as a large section of the party feels communalism was raising its head in West Bengal which had seen no tension over the past four or five decades. CPM leaders have been blaming the Trinamool Congress for helping the BJP gain ground in the state by fanning communal passions.
