V.S. Achuthanandan remains in ICU, condition stable, says family

Veteran Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] leader and former Kerala Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan, 101, continued to be under medical observation at the intensive care unit (ICU) of a private hospital in Thiruvananthapuram for the second consecutive day on Tuesday (June 24, 2025).

In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Mr. Achuthanandan’s son, V. Arun Kumar, said his father was admitted to the hospital on Monday after the centenarian experienced “mild” breathing difficulties. 

Mr. Arun Kumar said the doctors admitted Mr. Achuthanandan to the intensive care unit after they “perceived the possibility of a cardiac ailment.”

Top CPI(M) leaders, including Left Democratic Front (LDF) convenor T.P. Ramakrishnan, had called on Mr. Achuthanandan’s family at the hospital.
