Here’s what happened next when Kanhaiya Kumar Called CPI as “Confused Party of India”

“The CPI has become the ‘Confused Party of India,” according to Kanhaiya Kumar, AISF national council member and former president of the JNU students’ union.

Addressing the 23rd party congress here on Saturday,  he attacked the leadership for remaining fixated on ties with the Congress rather than building up the organization.

“Instead of focusing on backing the Congress party, the CPI should strengthen itself in a situation where the Congress would seek the support of the CPI,” he said.

His opinion is apparently a deviation from his earlier stance to support the Congress to curb the advance of BJP. He had also expressed his willingness to contest the elections in Bihar if he was jointly nominated by the Left, Congress, and the RJD parties.

But here what happened Next:

S Sudhakara Reddy was unanimously re-elected the general secretary of the Communist Party of India (CPI) on Sunday for a third time in a row while former JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar found a place in the national council.

Ahead of Reddy’s unanimous election at the 23rd party congress in Kollam, a 125-member national council was also elected. It included Kanhaiya Kumar, a former president of the JNU Students Union who was at one time jailed after being charged with sedition.

While the 76-year-old Reddy’s re-election took place without any issues, the selection of the 15 members from Kerala to the CPI’s highest decision-making body saw some hurdles after veteran party leader C Divakaran was not featured in the list.
