Thiruvananthapuram | Former Kerala Chief Minister and veteran CPI(M) leader V S Achuthanandan, who was admitted to a private hospital here following a cardiac attack, has shown slight improvement in his condition, doctors said on Tuesday.
According to the latest medical bulletin, Achuthanandan is still in the intensive care unit of the private hospital, and a special medical team comprising a cardiologist, nephrologist, neurologist, and others is treating him.
"There is a slight improvement in his health condition," it said. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan visited Achuthanandan at the hospital in the morning. However, he did not speak to the media waiting outside.
Achuthanandan, a towering figure in Kerala politics, has been battling age-related health issues in recent years and has stayed away from public life. He is the last surviving leader from the group that founded the CPI(M) in 1964 after the historic split in the undivided Communist Party.
Achuthanandan served as Kerala's Chief Minister from 2006 to 2011. A seven-time MLA, he contested 10 elections during his political career, losing only three.
