Agartala, Apr 7: Tripura CPI-M state secretary Jitendra Choudhury on Sunday replaced former Chief Minister Manik Sarkar in the party’s politburo.
Choudhury is the third communist leader from Tripura to become a member of the party’s highest policy-making body.
On Sunday, the Left party announced an 85-member Central Committee and an 18-member politburo, which includes two women leaders—U. Vasuki and Mariam Dhawale—during its 24th party congress in Madurai, Tamil Nadu.
Former ministers Manik Dey, Naresh Jamatia, Ratan Bhowmik, and women leader Krishna Rakshit secured positions in the 85-member Central Committee from Tripura. Meanwhile, four leaders were dropped due to health concerns and age restrictions.
Choudhury is the second tribal leader to serve as CPI-M’s state secretary in Tripura, following former Chief Minister Dasaratha Deb. Deb, along with another former Chief Minister, Nripen Chakraborty, is regarded as a father figure of the Left movement in Tripura.
