Comrade Visheshwar Yadav, a senior member of the CPI(ML) Bihar State Committee, Secretary of the Vaishali District Committee, and President of the Bihar unit of the Kisan Mahasabha, passed away on the morning of November 12. He had been suffering from cold and fever for the past few days. As his condition worsened last night, he was admitted to the hospital. He was working in Supaul as the Party State Committee’s in-charge for the Pipra Assembly constituency election.

Comrade Visheshwar had been a dynamic party organiser for decades and had worked in different parts of Bihar. A native of Vaishali district, he functioned as party secretary in rural Patna as well as in Siwan and Darbhanga. In spite of not having any prior experience of working in Supaul he became closely integrated with the local organisation in just a few weeks and led a powerful campaign mobilising the entire strength of the INDIA coalition. His passing is a profound loss to the Party and to the people’s movements to which he dedicated his life with unwavering commitment. Red Salute to Comrade Visheshwar Yadav!
