Change of guard at CPI next month, Sudhakar Reddy to step down

TestHostEntry

Hyderabad | The CPI would see a change of guard next month with its General Secretary Suravaram Sudhakar Reddy deciding to step down on health grounds after holding the post for more than seven years, sources in the party said.

Reddy, who assumed charge of the partyโ€™s top post on March 31, 2012, and was serving a third term scheduled to end in 2021, is firm on announcing his โ€œretirementโ€ at the national council meeting to be held in Delhi on July 20, they said.

The 77-year-old veteran Communist leader โ€œcan not travel much, has lung problems, allergy to air-conditioning and discomfort facing extreme heat and cold,โ€ they said.

โ€œHe (Reddy) is firm on retiring,โ€ a senior CPI leader told PTI.

Party national secretary D Raja, All India Trade Union Congress general secretary Amarjeet Kaur and Kerala secretary Kanam Rajendran are seen to be front-runners to succeed Reddy, a former Lok Sabha member from Telangana.

Sources said the partyโ€™s new boss would be picked by consensus.

Raja is the senior-most in the central secretariat, a known leader but has never been a state secretary and also not contested the Lok Sabha elections.

โ€œThey (Kerala unit) are not interested, thatโ€™s the problem, we wanted them to take over,โ€ sources said when asked about possibilities of leaders from the southern state being in the reckoning.

Some party functionaries are also pursuing with Rajendran to take over, sources said.

The CPI is the second biggest constituent in the CPI-M-led Left Democratic Front government in Kerala.

โ€œShe (Kaur) is in trade union. If there is consensus, she can become the party general secretaryโ€, sources said.

Whoever takes over would have a tough challenge to revive the fortunes of the party, which put up a dismal show in the recent Lok Sabha elections, winning only two seats.

Meanwhile, Reddy had a discussion with his CPI-M counterpart Sitaram Yechury on the issue of reunification of the Communist parties.

โ€œReddy discussed with Yechury, told him he should raise it in their central committee, he (Yechury) forwarded our (CPIโ€™s) letter to their politburo,โ€ a CPI leader said.
