Hello
The first thing Gouri Amma recalls about her first election, back in 1948, is one of shock and reluctance.
Gouri was admitted to a private hospital on April 22 after she developed fever and breathlessness.
One of the founding members of the Communist movement in Kerala, Gouri has held the post of general secretary since the formation of the party in 1994.
KR Gouri, who now serves as the party president, expelled general secretary Rajan Babu for alleged anti-organisational activities. The decision to leave the LDF was apparently taken without her consent.
JSS alleged total neglect of a leader of the stature of Gowri and her party by the LDF leadership.
