I bid goodbye to my son, Ashish (Biku) at noon today.
I thank all of you who have shared our sorrow. I thank everybody who gave us strength to be able to face this dark hour. I know that I am not alone in my grief, with this pandemic consuming countless lives.

- It is with great sadness that I have to inform that I lost my elder son, Ashish Yechury to COVID-19 this morning. I want to thank all those who gave us hope and who treated him - doctors, nurses, frontline health workers, sanitation workers and innumerable others who stood by us.
- Strongly condemn the arrest of Delhi CM, Shri Arvind Kejriwal by the ED. It’s the second sitting CM of the INDIA bloc to be arrested. Clearly, Modi and the BJP are in panic over people’s rejection in the ongoing elections. All opposition leaders who defected and joined the BJP
- Its simple. Workers aren’t slaves.
- Congratulations, Kerala! We will do our best to live up to the trust and responsibility you have vested in us. We thank the people of Tamil Nadu for giving our alliance an opportunity to work for them. (1/n)
- Worst humanitarian health crisis in Independent India is deepening. Criminal culpability of the Modi govt will consume more lives unless Oxygen provided & mass free vaccination launched on a war footing. Govt must DELIVER or QUIT.
- Start a free mass universal vaccination programme immediately: ◆Spend budgetary allocation of ₹35,000 crore. ◆Abandon ₹20,000 crore central vista project & procure vaccines. ◆Use PMCares money to buy vaccines. #VaccinesForAll
- My condolences to the families of those who lost their lives due to the lack of oxygen. These deaths were avoidable. Those elected to govern must be held accountable for abdication of their duty.25 'sickest' patients die at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi; low pressure oxygen likely cause: Sources
- At a time of a national emergency like this with an ineffectual and callous government landing us in this mess, the job of everyone is to assist and help every other person. Only social solidarity can take us through.
- INDIA, that is Bharat - is the opening line of our Constitution. INDIA and its people will win.
- You cannot provide oxygen. You cannot provide vaccines. You cannot provide medicines & hospital beds. You cannot provide any succour. You only provide misleading propaganda, excuses & untruths. कुर्सी है तुम्हारा जनाज़ा तो नहीं है, कुछ कर नहीं सकते तो उतर क्यों नहीं जाते
- It is a grave situation. The Modi government must act. Our joint call for immediate action 👇🏾
- This is unacceptable. Centre must buy vaccines and distribute in a transparent equitable manner free to States. PM must spend the ₹lakhs of crores hoarded in PMCares for this. For 70 years India always had a free universal vaccination programme.
