Former Kerala Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan passed away in Thiruvananthapuram on Monday (July 21, 2025) due to age-related ailments. He was 101.
VS, as he was fondly known, was a symbol of resilience, integrity, and a century-long commitment to the working class in Kerala. The communist stalwart became a moral compass for the Left movement in India, and his life mirrored the evolution of communist politics in the country.
