CPM suspended its Maharashtra state secretary Narasayya Adam from the Central Committee, the party’s highest decision making body, for three months, on Monday. The disciplinary action was taken against him for praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a public event in Maharashtra in January, revealed sources.
The CPM stated that his suspension “is a consequence of his speech at a public event in Solapur in the presence of the Prime Minister and state Chief Minister which hurt the party’s image.”
Modi was in Solapur on January 9 to lay foundation stone for the construction of 30,000 houses under the Prime Minister Awas Yojna in the country’s biggest beedi workers’ colony.
