As the CPI(M) Party Congress progresses to its final day, speculation is rife about who will replace the outgoing members of the party Polit Bureau (PB) and the Central Committee (CC).
Hanan Mollah, Biman Bose, and S. Ramachandran Pillai, will be exempted from the new Polit Bureau, as they have crossed the stipulated age limit of 75 years. Surjya Kanta Mishra, it is heard, could be excluded too, citing ill-health.
Ashok Dhawale, president of the All India Kisan Sabha that played a role in the peasants’ agitation against the farm laws, and A. Vijayaraghavan, LDF convenor and Central Committee member from Kerala, are billed to make it to the top body of the party. The name of Mohamad Yousuf Tarigami, from Kashmir, is also on cards.
