The crucial leadership meeting of CPI is being held today. Yes, the excitement of the executive meeting is about who will replace Kanam to lead the party. Kanam has given a letter to the party asking for a three-month leave due to ill health. Kanam, whose right foot was amputated due to diabetes, is undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Kochi. Although the health condition has improved, follow-up treatments will take time to complete. Lok Sabha elections are coming. As it is time to take decisive decisions, there is a need to replace Kanam who is going on leave as the state secretary.
Another one is Chandrasekaran, who is an assistant secretary. PP Suneer and National Executive Committee member K Prakash Babu are likely to be the Acting Secretary. Although the name of National Secretariat member Binoy Vishwat is also there, the decision will be taken into account the possibility of Lok Sabha candidate. It is also more likely to give collective responsibility to the senior leaders of the party instead of one person. Kanam’s position in this matter will be the last word.
