NEW DELHI: The CPI(M) central committee met today to chart out its strategy in the prevailing political turmoil, a day after it left out Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee from the whip to vote against the UPA Government during the trust vote on July 22.
The exclusion of Chatterjee is significant as the CPI(M) has so far maintained that he should toe the party line to vote against the government.
CPI(M) General Secretary Prakash Karat and senior leaders Sitaram Yechury, V S Achutanandan, Buddhadev Bhattacharya and Manik Sarkar were among the leaders who reviewed the political situation and discussed the course of action to be pursued in the coming days.
Ahead of the central committee meeting, members of the powerful politburo met for about one-and-half hours.
