VS Achuthanandan News | Kerala's Comrade VS Dies At 101: A Look Back At His Journey

VS Achuthanandan News | Comrade VS Dies At 101, Here's A Look Back At His Journey Former Kerala Chief Minister and the icon of Communist movement VS Achuthanandan died on Monday, after a long hospitalisation. The 101-year-old was admitted to a private hospital in Thiruvananthapuram on June 23 after he suffered a cardiac arrest at home. He had been on ventilator support in the intensive care unit since. A founding figure in the Communist Party of India (Marxist) after the 1964 split in the undivided Communist Party, Achuthanandan's life in Kerala was defined by unrelenting struggle -- against the entrenched injustices of a caste and class-bound society, and against the creeping revisionism he saw within his own party.
