Following the passing of CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury, Karat also served as the party&#8217;s interim coordinator until April 2025. Brinda Karat served as the General Secretary of the All India Democratic Women&#8217;s Association (AIDWA) from 1993 to 2004 and holds the distinction of being the first woman elected to the CPI(M) Politburo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the discussion, the leaders deliberated on the JVP and National People\u2019s Power (NPP) coming to power in Sri Lanka, as well as the measures taken to establish financial stability in the country while improving public welfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dialogue also highlighted the government&#8217;s direct intervention in increasing the wages of plantation sector workers. Furthermore, discussions focused on establishing good political governance, eradicating corruption, and changing the privilege-based political culture in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
