Sitaram Yechury addresses students of IIM Calcutta[/b][/b]
As part of IIM-C’s Institute Lecture Series, senior CPI (M) leader and Rajya Sabha member Sitaram Yechury will address students on Friday, 17th December. This will be his first talk after the breaking of the 2G spectrum scandal, about which Mr. Yechury has been very vocal in his criticism. Mr. Yechury is expected to dwell on the dangers of crony capitalism.
With almost 40 years in the political arena, Mr. Yechury has played a leading role in the formation of India’s polity. His struggle during the Emergency and his representation of India’s disaffected in parliament mark him as a man held in the highest esteem. In times when a new economy must be tempered with a humane and just approach, Mr. Yechury serves as a guardian of such values.
