THE COMMUNIST SUPERSTAR

The confident, hard-edged leader is easily the most powerful communist politician in the country, at a time when the party’s footprints have been diminishing in the nation. Pinarayi Vijayan’s progressive approach and resolute stance in the event of a chain of natural calamities and pandemic that the state faced in the last five years is a textbook example of strong governance that transformed the governance style of Kerala by adopting the best of the west and yet standing strong on the ideals of socialism.

On May 2, the state of Kerala witnessed an unparalleled and historic mandate for the Left Democratic Fund led by Pinarayi Vijayan. The son of a toddy tapper, Vijayan’s meteoric rise in the most politically educated state of India made heads turn towards the South Indian state and the results surprised most of the political pundits who predicted that Kerala will continue with its pendulum political pattern of alternatively choosing the government - the LDF was able to buck the trend that has been etched in the state of Kerala since 1977.
