Communist Party of India (Marxist) Polit Bureau member Mohammed Salim was on Thursday appointed the West Bengal State Secretary of the party.
Mr. Salim will replace veteran CPI(M) leader Surjya Kanta Mishra.
Mr. Salim, who had represented the party in both Houses of Parliament and was a Minister in the Left Front government, was unanimously chosen for the post at the State Committee meeting. With the party focusing on bringing in more young people and giving representation to linguistic and regional minorities, his elevation is crucial.
‘Rampant corruption’
“The State committee has 80 members; keeping one slot vacant, we have elected 79 members. A large section of State committee members have retired and new members have been elected,” Mr. Salim said.
Mr. Salim lauded the role of the party in reaching out to the people during distressing times of the pandemic. “Along with the rampant corruption, we have to fight the political corruption of leaders switching side from BJP to Trinamool,” he said.
