Mr. Radhakrishnan’s victory was a source of solace for the CPI(M) and the ruling Left Democratic Left (LDF), which displayed a dismal showing in the parliamentary polls. The ruling front lost in other seats, including to the BJP in Thrissur.
Mr. Radhakrishnan thanked the CPI(M) for bestowing him, “an ordinary working-class person with such weighty responsibilities.”
Before stepping down, Mr. Radhakrishan ordered that residential areas populated by families from the SC/ST communities should be referred to as ‘nagar’ and not ‘colonies’.
