Leadership

• Sitaram Yechury serves as the CPI(M) general's secretary at the moment.

• The CPI(M) elected a Central Committee with 95 members, including 2 permanent invitees, 6 invitees, and a five-member Central Control Commission at its 22nd party congress, which took place in Hyderabad on 18 April 2018. Later, the 17-member Politburo was chosen by the Central Committee.

Background

• The Soviet government desired that the Indian communists reduce their criticism towards the Indian state, and adopt a supportive stance toward the Congress governments.

• Large portions of the CPI, however, insisted that India remained a semi-feudal state and that class conflict could not be put on hold in order to protect Soviet trade and foreign policy interests.

• The Indian National Congress also managed to give the impression of being generally hostile to political rivalry.

• Kerala's E.M.S. Namboodiripad cabinet was overthrown in 1959 when the central government intervened to impose President's Rule in the state (the sole non-Congress state government in the country).

Formation of CPI(M) (1964)

• The ideological basis for the disagreement between the two factions of the CPI was the formulation of a party platform and the evaluation of the Indian situation.

• This ideological division between the Communist parties in the Soviet Union and China was reflected in the difference of opinion.

• Additionally, the CPI faction that later evolved into the CPI(M) described the "right" strategy as a national effort of class collaboration, which is incriminating within the communist movement because it undermines the importance of working-class interests and independence.
