Veteran Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader Sitaram Yechury passed away at 72 after a prolonged illness. A key figure in Indian left-wing politics, Yechury played a pivotal role in shaping CPI(M)’s direction over several decades. His leadership and contributions to the party made him an influential voice in the political landscape. The news was confirmed by party and hospital sources. Former Union Minister and BJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar expressed his condolences, remembering Yechury as a former colleague in Parliament. Yechury’s passing marks the end of an era for the CPI(M) and leftist politics in India.
