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.

New Indian Express today that is on 27.12.2020. I feel I am an avid reader of books and newspapers but I have rarely come across a piece which makes one say: “But for the grace of God, here is a piece written by God himself.” I would like to thank you for spending so much time and energy to read my heart and intentions and judging me as the “most frustrated politician.” From your piece it appears that you are more privy to my convictions than I am, and have chosen to articulate them by saying that: “He has been made governor when his own conviction is that he can serve the country best by being a power-wielding minister.”
