CPI(M) decides to stay out of INDIA coordination committee

Hindustan Times  

The Communist Party of India or CPI will stay out of the coordination committee of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance but will remain a part of the anti-Bharatiya Janata Party coalition formed by national and state parties for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the party’s politburo decided at its meeting held in Delhi on Saturday and Sunday, leaders familiar with the matter said. CPI general secretary Sitaram Yechury took part in the three meetings the INDIA coalition leaders held in Patna, Bengaluru and Mumbai. Md Salim, CPI’s West Bengal state committee secretary and a politburo member, avoided talking on the party’s political compulsions while explaining the stand the politburo took over the weekend. Koustav Bagchi, a Bengal Congress leader, even sent an e-mail to Congress national general secretary K C Venugopal saying “standing in solidarity with tyrants and scamsters is an insult to party workers in Bengal.” On Monday, Abhishek Banerjee did not make any remark against the CPI while reacting to its decision to stay out of the coordination committee.
