Personal Responce;- What Qualities do you find in sitaram
Answers
Answer:
For communists, leaders must have at least one of two qualities. They must either be ideologues, determining and defending the ‘party line’ in changing circumstances. Or they can be organisation men – unifying, managing and deploying the party’s substantial cadre.
Sitaram Yechury ticks both these boxes. He has written extensively on communist principles, neo-liberalism and way back in 1992, presented the Party’s ideological position in the wake of USSR’s decline.
As an organisation man too, he has lots of experience. He has been in charge of the CPI(M)‘s international cell, as well as the Maharashtra and Bihar units.
There is also a third quality that Yechury possesses, one not so common among comrades.
He is likable, has parliamentary experience and is media savvy. With the BJP’s unprecedented dominance in electoral politics over the last year, it’s these qualities that will help him forge alliances to form an effective opposition.
Clearly, the road from electoral decimation to political relevance will not be either easy or quick for Sitaram Yechury. But given his personal affability and political acuity, he may just pull it off.
