2. You thought families are limited to the Cong. Wrong. The sprightly Karats - Prakash and Brinda are both members of this gang. Husband and wife - together in the Politbureau. Cheers.
3. Zero election wonder Yechury, twice married. Now to a secular news editor. His daughter teaches in the UK. He was pissed off with Gorbachev when perestroika happened. https://www.hindustantimes.com/india/hanging-up-sacred-thread-yechury-on-combining-class-and-caste-struggle/story-u1bQElht2JY2VCs9T9EvkL.html
4. Another esteemed member of their gang - Kodiyeri Balakrishnan's son is at Dubai. Apparently his illustrious son had cheated a company in UAE to the tune of Rs. 13 crores. http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/2018/jan/24/fraud-allegations-against-kerala-cpi-m-leaders-son-triggers-major-controversy-1762686.amp
5. Another stalwart of the gang - Mohammad Salim. His wife is a doc. Poor family, they had to do with only a 3400 sft apartment on the 2nd floor of a govt hospital for years. Till Mamatadi vacated them and banished them to a 700 sft apartment. Lal Salam!! https://www.telegraphindia.com/states/west-bengal/salim-set-for-sq-ft-squeeze/cid/1277677
6. Doctor sahab of the gang - Surja Kanta Mishra. Got into a controversy because he had not registered his name at the WB Medical Council. Surjakanta Mishra says he is an MBBS from the SCB Medical College, Cuttack. https://www.news18.com/news/india/cpi-m-leader-never-registered-with-us-as-doctor-says-west-bengal-medical-council-1428619.html
7. Baby of the gang, Yep, you got it right. The name is Baby. His son is into "bourgeois, decadent" western music. A rhythm guitar player, who says that "music, mutual respect and money", you got it, money - keeps the group together. https://www.indulgexpress.com/culture/music/2018/may/18/thaikkudam-bridge-on-hitting-the-right-notes-since-its-inception-in-2013-7449.html
8. Pinarayi. This chap's son works with a bank at Dubai. Daughter heads some software co. At least that's what Wiki says. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinarayi_Vijayan
9. Subhashini Ali. Probably a victim of Triple T by her ex-husband Muzaffar Ali. Her son, with a secular name is some filmmaker. Studied at the uber posh Welham's and Lawrence School. Revolution! Viva!!
10. Raghavulu. Nothing much about this chap. Except his daughter studied at the JNU. His son-in-law Mohammed Zaheer also studied there. Yep, you got the name of his SIL right.
11. Nilotpal Basu. This fellow's spouse, an employee of the WEBEL (WB Electronics) was posted at Delhi for 17 years! Yes, you read it correctly. Till Mamatha di came and rocked the boat. http://www.sunday-guardian.com/buzzword/nilotpal-wife-victim-of-vendetta
Tailpiece - the commies under Jyothi Basu conducted an enquiry against VS Achutanandan at the time of '62 China war, because he suggested they organise a blood donation camp for jawans. Achutanandan was sacked from the Politbureau for the 'crime' https://www.oneindia.com/india/1962-when-cpi-said-donating-blood-to-jawans-was-anti-party-activity-2464785.html
All these communist leaders have good families, and their children are pursuing their dreams. Many of them are outside India. Here the communist leaders are feeding off people's aspirations, and discouraging hard work. They need poverty, the perfect setting for their "revolution"
