@rajcherian @cpimspeak @cituhq What a preaching! It seems you are not aware of the working class history in the world. Without struggles, the working class never got decent minimum wages. Now, the labor codes, which have further ruined their living conditions. Workers are not machines, they are human beings.

[pentyala sambaiah @spentyala]

@ParagChamuah @cpimspeak The difference is in their assessment of the Indian State. CPI says that the state is headed by National bourgeois whereas CPIM characterises it as a combination of big bourgeois and landlords headed by big bourgeois. Accordingly, their approach to revolution in India varies.

This is one of the saddest days for our newsroom and for me personally. Not only has our editor @seemay lost her partner but many of us have lost a dear friend. Comrade Sitaram Yechury was also a staunch defender of the rights we journalists struggle everyday to defend—freedom of the press. So we have lost a strong and brave ally at a time when we need him most. But for me the arc of his importance stretched over a wider terrain: he was a tireless fighter for the rights of India's workers and peasants and farmers, of all marginalised, discriminated sections, a staunch internationalist and anti-imperialist, whose presence at the barricades in the years ahead will be sorely missed wherever people fight for what is just.

It is no small matter to dedicate your life to the work of a party right from your student days—a party which is small and against the established, oppressive order and which offers no promise of power or pelf. Sitaram knew that the exploitation which is the daily lot of millions and millions will never end unless men and women of conscience take the plunge and fight for change. Sita chose his path and never looked back. Did he introspect over mistakes the movement made? Sure. And that made him wiser, stronger and better.

Sitaram was a communist leader whose imprint on national politics could not be measured by how many MPs or MLAs he had with him. This is because the Left's ideas and views continue to move tens of millions of Indians despite its electoral and institutional weakening over the years but also because of the kind of man he was: skilful in building alliances and coalitions, courageous, ever smiling.

India needed leaders like him to help find its way out of the darkness of the present and into the light. His family and friends and party will mourn him but his death at the age of 72 is a huge, huge loss for the country.

A photograph of @SitaramYechury leading a students protest to Indira Gandhi’s residence after she had refused to step down as Chancellor of JNU in 1977 after her poll defeat. Not only did Mrs Gandhi cordially invite them to her house, she even agreed to step down. Would that ever happen today? Few VVIPs would allow students into their Lutyens bungalows and students too might demand live streaming! Kahan gaye woh log?

Lal Salaam, Comrade Sitaram Yechury!

With the passing away of Comrade Sitaram Yechury, India has lost a bridge that connected revolutionary vision to parliamentary politics, political theory to political practice, and the agenda of national politics to the last person. An architect of the theory and practice of ‘popular front’, he was a vital link that helped bring together all the democratic and secular forces in a collective struggle against the onslaught on our constitutional republic. An iconic student leader, an accomplished parliamentarian, a great orator and a true friend to many across the political divide, Comrade Yechury’s political acumen and humane qualities will be missed not just by the Left but by all those who stand for the idea of India.

A life-long Marxist and a ‘whole-timer’ of the communist movement, Comrade Yechury assumed the leadership of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) at a critical moment for the party as well as the country. Steering clear of dogmatism and sectarianism, he guided the party and the entire Left to play a historic role in resisting communalism, authoritarianism and crony capitalism. A lifelong passionate advocate of the working classes, peasantry, dalits, adivasis and all the downtrodden people, Comrade Yechury was a friend to all peoples movements and popular protests. His decision to donate his body for medical research and teaching symbolised the social commitment that he upheld all his life. In connecting multiple regions, languages and communities, his life journey was an embodiment of “Bharat Jodo”.

Lal Salam, Comrade Sitaram Yechury!

@SonyElectronics @AudioAdvice Irresponsible company. I am looted after buying Sony Bravia android tv. In less than 2 years the the tv display has developed broad line. Despite several reminders the company doesn’t respond to my mails. Never buy this model.

@SitaramYechury My heartfelt condolences. I had met him while I was a student in Allahabad.

[pentyala sambaiah @spentyala]

@vivekagnihotri At least he understands India and doesn’t spread hatred like you and your ilk!

[pentyala sambaiah @spentyala]

@JethmalaniM How can it be anti-India when an incident has been analysed and presented? Does India mean Modi, for that matter any personality?!!!.

[pentyala sambaiah @spentyala]

@Sugunankv @drthomasisaac Count how many communists were killed. As per the former DGP of the state the number communists killed were more than the cadres of all other parties put together. What more is needed?!!

[pentyala sambaiah @spentyala]

@dutta_anilk @drthomasisaac Just because it was a planted evidence, which is the handiwork of the Modi govt and its invisible hand.

[pentyala sambaiah @spentyala]

@IncomeTaxIndia @FinMinIndia @nsitharamanoffc @officeofPCM @PIB_India Why don’t you arrange resolving the technical issue (the order of First name and Last name) regarding name of a person on Aadhaar and PAN? This is an impeding factor in linking PAN with Aadhaar.

The Modi Govt is trying its best to destroy the co-operative sector which has contributed immensely to the development of Kerala. Even while it is a State subject, Modi Govt has made multiple legal interventions aimed at destroying the country's cooperative sector.
