Heartfelt congratulations to @SitaramYechury on his re-election as General Secretary of CPI(M). I see this as a boost to secular, like-minded parties working together to defeat fascist, antidemocratic regimes in power today.
DMK working president M.K. Stalin extended warm felicitations to Sitaram Yechury on April 22, 2018, following his re-election as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist). Stalin described Yechury's continued leadership as an important reinforcement for progressive, secular, and democratic political forces working together across the nation.
He noted that the political landscape required resolute cooperation among ideologically aligned opposition parties to counter what he termed the authoritarian, divisive governance of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party at the Centre. Stalin stressed that parliamentary democracy and institutional autonomy were facing severe pressure from centralizing forces. Strengthening ties between regional parties and the left movement was critical for safeguarding India's pluralist constitutional fabric and democratic conventions.
Stalin expressed optimism that Yechury's experienced guidance would invigorate united efforts to resist anti-people economic policies and preserve federalism. He reaffirmed that the DMK looked forward to deepening coordination with the CPI(M) in mass mobilizations, parliamentary interventions, and electoral alliances. Stalin concluded that building a broad secular front remained an essential national priority to restore social harmony, protect minority rights, and uphold constitutional governance across India.
