Sitaram Yechury, CPI(M) General Secretary, Passes Away
CPI(M), Communist Party of India (Marxist), general secretary and former Rajya Sabha MP Sitaram Yechury passed away at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi. He was 72.
Yechury had learnt the ropes under late party leader Harkishan Singh Surjeet, who played major roles in the coalition era governance, first during the National Front government of V P Singh and then the United Front government of 1996-97, both of which the CPI(M) had supported from outside.
He had also played a critical role in the talks with the government on the Indo-US nuclear deal that led to the Left parties withdrawing support to the UPA-I government because of Karat's stubborn stand.
