Basudeb Acharia

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) expresses its
profound grief at the death of veteran communist, parliamentarian and trade
union leader, Basudeb Acharia. He died today at Hyderabad where he was
admitted to a hospital owing to age-related illness. He was 81.

 

Born on July 11, 1942, in Purulia,  Acharia was involved in politics from
his student life. He left his job as a school teacher and became a full time
worker of the Party. He was elected to the Party's Purulia District
Committee in 1981, to the West Bengal State Committee in 1985 and to the
Central Committee of the Party in 2005. In 2018 he was elected as the
Chairman of the Central Control Commission. 

 

Active in the trade union movement Basudeb Acharia was a leader mainly of
the railway and coal workers. He was also one of the Vice-Presidents of the
CITU. An outstanding parliamentarian, who always took up people's issues, he
was elected to the Lok Sabha for nine times from 1980 to 2009. 

 

The Polit Bureau conveys its heartfelt condolences to his two daughters and
son.
