The CPI(M) concluded its 8th State Conference in in Bishrampur, Chhattisgarh on Saturday (December 21), with the election of Bal Singh as the new state secretary. Tribal leader, Singh’s election reflects the party’s emphasis on inclusive leadership in this tribal-dominated state.
Within the CPI(M), Singh has played a key role in mobilizing local workers, peasants, and tribal activists to fight for improved conditions, fair wages, and social justice. During the 7th State Conference, held in December 2021 in Korba, he was elected to the presidium.
Singh has actively worked with the Adivasi Adhikar Manch, the tribal wing of CPI(M), to address concerns related to land rights, tribal culture, and the impact of development policies on indigenous populations. He is known for his strong stance on social justice and his efforts to protect tribal communities from exploitation and violence.
The conference also elected a 23-member state committee and a 6-member secretariat, leaving two positions vacant for future appointments. Members of the secretariat include Dharmaraj Mahapatra, Sanjay Parate, Vakil Bharti, Rishi Gupta, and RV Bharti, alongside Bal Singh.
The broader state committee comprises SN Banerjee, Prashant Jha, VM Manohar, Jawahar Kanwar (Korba), Lalan Soni, Surendra Lal Singh, Kapil Paikra, Neelam Singh (Surajpur), Krishna Kumar (Balrampur), PN Singh (Surguja), Sameer Qureshi (Dhamtari), Rajesh Awasthi (Raipur), SP Day, DVS Reddy (Durg), and Indradev Chauhan (Koriya). The composition ensures robust representation, with 7 tribal members, 2 Dalits, 1 member from the backward class, and 1 from the minority community.
Notably, the majority of the state committee members are under 50, combining youthful energy with the seasoned experience of senior members. This balanced structure mirrors the state’s demographics and reflects the party’s commitment to empowering diverse communities.
