An Invaluable Leader, A Brother

IT’S unthinkable that Comrade Kodiyeri Balakrishnan has departed from our midst. It causes deep pain. He wasn’t just like a brother, there was real brotherhood between us. We both chose to tread the same path.His concern for the Party was above everything else even under acute illness. He thought about how to handle the attacks against the Party till his last days.

Lal Salaam Comrade Kodiyeri

POLIT Bureau member Comrade Kodiyeri Balakrishnan is no more.For over three years, he courageously battled cancer. Despite this, during this period he admirably led the Party in Kerala as the state secretary to a remarkable unprecedented LDF victory in the assembly elections, negating decades of electoral history when a no incumbent government was re-elected for a second term. Following this, under his leadership the Party state committee hosted the 23rd Congress of the CPI(M) in Kannur in April 2022.

An Elder Brother and A Committed Comrade

COMRADE Kodiyeri Balakrishnan was much more than a colleague to me. Senior to me by two years, he was as close to me as a brother in a relationship spanning over five decades. It dates back to 1972-73 when we worked together as colleagues and office bearers of the SFI at the state level. His end has come now, as we were working together simultaneously at the state and national levels.Kodiyeri was at his best, working at the organisational level. His skills in this regard were quite evident even from his student days.
