Memorial Details

Yechury’s mortal remains were transported from his residence in Vasant Kunj to the party’s office. He passed away at AIIMS Hospital after suffering from a respiratory tract infection.

Reactions from Political Figures

Kerala Minister P Rajeev expressed that Yechury’s death has created a significant void in national politics. “The sad demise of Sitaram Yechury has created a big vacuum in national politics. I had the opportunity to work with him as a deputy leader when he was the leader of the CPI(M) in Rajya Sabha. He was the most acceptable person in the party, and everyone came to him to make decisions on every issue. It is a big loss to the party, the left, and the country,” Rajeev said.

JP Nadda’s Floral Tribute

On Friday, Union Minister and BJP National President JP Nadda paid floral tribute to Yechury at his residence. Nadda remembered Yechury for maintaining relationships despite differing ideologies. “Paid floral tribute to the mortal remains of Former Rajya Sabha MP and General Secretary of the CPI(M) late Shri Sitaram Yechury ji. We both had different ideologies. He was more inclined towards ideas, but at the same time, he maintained relationships with those whose views differed from his own. He believed in agreeing to disagree and often said that this is the beauty of democracy,” Nadda posted on X.
