A home-grown politician, Oommen Chandy’s six-decade long political career has been inextricably linked to the ups and downs of the Congress party in Kerala’s bipolar political ecosystem. Kerala Assembly’s longest serving MLA and a true-blue Congress worker, the former CM passed away in Bengaluru.
Chandy, who always stood out in his trademark white cotton shirt and dhoti worn usually with a cordial smile, breathed his last at a private hospital in Bengaluru early this morning. Chandy was undergoing treatment in Bengaluru for the past few months.
