In a political landscape dominated by grand and strategically, Mariam Alexander Baby was elected secretary and determined to the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (Marxist). After a few years in the shadows, he became the right choice to hold the position at the 24th Congress in Madurai. He is the second leader in Kerala after EMS Namboodiripad.

The sign of the baby’s political career is a firm commitment to the left-wing ideology, which is also the ideal compass to guide his journey. His comrades say his kindness is not an elaborate performance, but an inherent characteristic that contributes to better communication even politically.

Baby’s political journey was born in a Latin Christian family in Prakkulam in Kollam district, Kerala. During his years of growing up, he was a member of the Kerala Student Union, a predecessor to the Student Union of India (SFI). Sree Narayana College in Kollam, where he undertook higher studies and played an integral role in shaping his politicians and individuals.

Mr. Baby was elected as President of SFI in 1979 and took over as President of the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) in 1987. At the age of 32, he was nominated as Rajya Sabha, and his term lasted from 1986 to 1998. In 1989, he was elected as the CPI(M) Central Committee of the Party’s highest decision-making body, and in 1992 he became the CPI(M) Central Secretary. He was appointed as a member of the Politburo in 2012.

In a 2006 poll, Mr Baby was elected from the Kundara constituency of Kollam and served as Minister of Education and Cultural Affairs in the left former government led by Achuthanandan. During his ministerial tenure, the introduction of Mathamillatha Jeevan (Life without Religion) in a Class VII social science textbook has sparked controversy. This describes a child named Jeevan without religious beliefs and aims to promote secular values. However, this inclusion has sparked major protests from various religious groups to promote atheism. The course was revised and Mr. Baby tried to appease the protesters and insisted that the lesson was not against religion or God.

Another controversy broke out after his blasphemous attack on TJ Joseph.

The infant also made significant contributions to the cultural community in Kerala during his tenure. He played a role in establishing the Kochi Muzris Biennale, which has since evolved into a highly respected event on the Global Arts Tour. In addition, he promoted visits to Kerala by many prominent artists and literary figures, thus enriching the cultural landscape of the state.

He is a true patron of art, and he enjoys a vast and unique friend across the Kerala Brotherhood of Art and Literature, which other politicians can claim.

In 2011, Mr. Babe won the second term of Kundara, despite the loss of the state elections of the Congress-led United Democratic Party (UDF).

Despite his initial hesitation, the party convinced Mr Baby to participate in Kollam’s 2014 Lok Sabha elections. There, he faced NK Premachandran of the Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP), whose former ministerial colleagues were allegiance to the UDF. After Pinarayi Vijayan finally backfired, the sulfuric acid campaign against Mr Premachandran against Mr Premachandran, which won Mr Baby’s victory by 37,649 votes for the RSP leaders. Failure had a deep impact on Mr. Baby, who immediately proposed to serve as an MLA. Although the CPI(M) state committee rejected his resignation, it was obvious that he was later absent from the General Assembly for several days.

Mr. Baby was a general secretary at a critical and critical period in the CPI (M) and the Left, and his challenge was great. When CPI(M) suffered a major setback, he lost the mantle in Tripura and West Bengal, his mantle occupied the mantle. Unlike his predecessor, Sitaram Yechury, Mr. Baby lacks wide national popularity.

Unified the current fragmented left, defined his party’s role in the Indian clique and won the upcoming Kerala parliamentary elections – the newly elected secretary is sure to be expected to accomplish the difficult task.
