Veteran Communist leader hospitalized after heart attack
V.S. Achuthanandan, Kerala's legendary former Chief Minister and a key figure in Indian left politics, was rushed to a Thiruvananthapuram hospital on Monday after a heart attack.
At 101, he's currently stable in the ICU, and the news has many across Kerala hoping for his quick recovery.
Achuthanandan's political legacy
Achuthanandan isn't just any politician—he helped found the CPI(M), led Kerala as its oldest-ever Chief Minister (2006-2011), and spent years fighting corruption and pushing land reforms.
His bold moves, like reclaiming illegal land in Munnar and taking on the lottery mafia, made him a symbol of clean governance.
For anyone interested in activism or how one person can shape politics for decades, his story is worth knowing—and his health update is big news for Kerala's future.
