Veteran CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury, 72, passes away at Delhi's Aiims

Quick Summary:

Yechury was a Rajya Sabha member from 2005 to 2017, with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi a frequent visitor to his room in Parliament, where they chatted for hours.

In private conversations, Yechury could come across as a pragmatic communist, more a social democrat, and even offer insights on the reasons for the decline of the Soviet Union.

Yechury was also one of the few among leading communist leaders to appreciate the importance of the Left movement’s cultural engagement and was a permanent attendee at cultural events that Sahmat organised.
