KR Gouri Amma steered the historic anti-feudal land reforms bill.
Thiruvananthapuram:
Veteran Communist leader KR Gouri Amma would have turned 102 in a few weeks. On Tuesday, she died at a private hospital in Kerala s Thiruvananthapuram due to age-related illness.
She was the only surviving minister from the first Communist government in Kerala in the late 1950s. At that time, she was the revenue minister. She held several key portfolios - finance, industries, among others - in her eight-decade-long rich political career across political fronts in Kerala.
An efficient, strong-willed woman, with a mind of her own, is how many leaders describe her.
