Cpm Prakash Karat

Senior CPI(M) leader Prakash Karat said the reintroduction of the old pension scheme will be the first decision the Left-Congress alliance will take if it is voted to power in Tripura.

Senior CPI (M) leader Prakash Karat on Friday accused the BJP of creating a communal divide by whipping up Islamophobia in Kerala and and urged the Catholics to be aware.

Rahul Gandhi's candidature from Kerala's Wayanad seat has seriously offended the state's ruling CPM, which is part of the opposition alliance that's taking on the BJP in the coming national elections. While there has been no official reaction from the CPM's state unit, senior party leader Prakash Karat said that they would "work to ensure the defea...

Newly elected CPM General Secretary Sitaram Yechury has told NDTV that the opposition does not necessarily need a face to take on Prime Minister Modi in the 2019 general elections. Overcoming internal differences within his own party, Mr Yechury has got the Communist Party of India (Marxist) to agree to an "understanding" with the Congress.

The CPM does not call it differences within the party but "divergent views". Whatever the name, the divergence over its relationship with the Congress party has become so wide, the once-in-five-years party congress currently under way in Hyderabad may end up voting on it.

An internal debate in the CPI(M) on the political line the party has to follow has become even more shrill after its crushing defeat in Tripura, with the camp supporting general secretary Sitaram Yechury blaming the former party boss Prakash Karat for not adapting to changing scenarios in the country.

The Tripura Assembly Election result, to be declared tomorrow, will have far reaching consequences not only nationally but also within the CPI (M), which has been in power in the state for the past 25 years, a leader of the Left party said.

Senior CPI(M) leader Prakash Karat played down differences with party general secretary Sitaram Yechury over the issue of having an understanding with the Congress to fight the BJP, insisting that divergence of views reflected inner-party democracy.

If you thought the Communist Party of India Marxist was a musty geriatrics club, only good for some theoretical intra party pedantry, think again. The three-day meet of the Central Committee in Kolkata that ended on Sunday in a devastating blow to party general secretary Sitaram Yechury was a cloak and dagger delight a la 007.

As the CPM endorsed a proposal ruling out any alliance or electoral understanding with the Congress, it rejected through a vote on Sunday the approach suggested by the party general secretary, for the first time in over four decades

For the second time in six months, CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury failed to convince the party's most powerful decision-making body, the Central Committee (CC), that it was imperative to forge an understanding with the Congress to oust the BJP from power at the centre.

A key vote on whether or not to work with the Congress to defeat the BJP in the 2019 general elections, was won today by those in favour of maintaining distance from the country's largest opposition party. The voting took place at the Central Committee or CC meet in Kolkata today.

How determined and or how desperate are opposition parties to oust the Narendra Modi government from Delhi? Very, says the Communist Party of India Marxist or CPM.

Army Chief Bipin Rawat says he is not affected by those who have compared him with British General Reginald Dyer, who achieved notoriety after ordering the Jallianwalla Bagh massacre of 1919. The comparison had appeared in an article published in the CPM mouthpiece "Democracy", which has party chief Prakash Karat as its editor. The BJP has condemne...

The ruling CPM of Kerala -- its leaders known for championing austerity -- has rented space at a 5-Star hotel for its first ever Central Committee meeting in Thiruvananthapuram. Under attack from the opposition UDF, Politburo members sound defensive, saying it is turning out to be cheaper than the other options.
