The Red Son of Revolution

Comrade V. S., the red son of revolution bid farewell to the people of Kerala. His legacy will be etched in the memory of thousands forever. Coming generations might wonder on his life. This is personal, it hurts. Not many politicians feels like kin, but there he was. Dedicating his whole life to the party, a leader who knew the beats of his people. I called mom today, we spoke about him, just two sentences, “Are you sad at his demise?” ” No I am not“. I know my dad would be sad too. He was quite upset when LDF won the lection in 2010s and Comrade Vijayan became the CM. He used to say the CM position will be cursed by the old man, if not given to him. Many Keralites actually wanted him to be in the limelight. He is one of the few people liked by everyone. Who did not like “Achummaman” after all! He will remain legendary in the history of Kerala and his untiring revolutionary visions will guide the ones yet to come. I grew up hearing his stories, stubbornness to stand by the people and lived while he was CM and opposition leader of the state. I am glad I lived to see you working for the working class. “Lalsalaam Comrade!”
