The big story. A TNM-NL Investigation At least 30 companies, which donated a total of nearly Rs 335 crore to the BJP between financial years 2018-19 and 2022-23, also faced action by central agencies during that period List of companies and more deets↓ thenewsminute.com/news/tnm-nl-in…
From KK Rema to Pembilai Orumai to victims of sexual assualt Quietly, but without compromise, VS Achuthanandan stood with women in distress @cristweets writes thenewsminute.com/kerala/quietly…
When the mortal remains of a 101-year-old Communist, who was orphaned at age 11, left to die at age 23, reached his home soil in Alappuzha. And an entire town has turned up to pay their respects.

This is something we don't speak about much, while talking about VS. He led a tech revolution as well in Kerala. VS brought Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) into Kerala’s schools and govt institutions, making IT education more accessible.

A comrade who will live on forever...
It's been more than 7 hours. And the convoy carrying VS Achuthanandan's mortal remains have not left Trivandrum district yet. The reason for that is seen in this picture.

God's own capital bids a teary farewell to their beloved comrade as his mortal remains leave Thiruvananthapuram. It's going to be a long night.

An apt time to share this. The same people who called VS, "too old", "too rigid" and "too Marxist" for fighting for land reforms and corporate plunder are now praising him by softening the revolutionary tip of his politics.

British Royal Navy's F-35, finally takes off to the United Kingdom after being stranded in Trivandrum, Kerala for 38 days. The pilots would reach UK and ask fellow officers, 'oru chaya kudichalo?'
VS. The two alphabets that we once used to wake up seeing on the front pages of all newspapers on most days. Front pages of today's Malayalam papers.



The liberals who make VS's life a rags to riches story have no clue what he really was. That man fought against colonialism, feudalism, casteism, classism, and all social, economic and political evils Kerala had. He fought against everything you romanticise now.
Bidding farewell to 100 years of struggle. 100 years of revolution. #VS

"Above, in a pole, VS looked down with his unwavering smile from a cherished photo, as bits of his old speech played on someone’s phone: “There is no Christian blood or Hindu blood or Muslim blood in us, what runs in us is the blood of humans.” thenewsminute.com/kerala/comrade…
At this rate, people will have to stop reporting from Karnataka or just spend time daily responding to legal notices. 5th injunction/contempt warning in a week. This is Congress MLA accused in a murder and also a rape case. Got one from BJP Jaggesh too for another story
The three Red stars will be united yet again. Clicked this pic in 2016 at the AKG centre, when Yechury famously said: 'VS is the Fidel Castro of Kerala'.
And they keep pouring in. To see their beloved comrade for one final time.. Pic courtesy: @RohitThayyil
Massive crowd already outside the AKG Centre in Trivandrum to pay their final respects to veteran Communist leader VS Achuthanandan.

Actor Manju Warrier's tribute for VS: "I remember reading once that there is a scar on V.S. Achuthanandan's foot that is still visible. The bayonet mark, a memory of the Punnapra-Vayalar struggle. He walked into the hearts of the people with that foot."

‘A grievous loss to the party’: CPI(M) mourns VS Achuthanandan thenewsminute.com/kerala/a-griev…
Deeply saddened by the passing of former Kerala CM & CPI(M) Polit Bureau member Thiru. V. S. Achuthanandan. A towering figure in Indian politics, his life’s work and commitment to the people of India will be remembered forever. Heartfelt condolences to his family and party…
