Thrissur: K V Vijayadas MLA died while undergoing treatment for post-COVID complications here on Monday.
Vijayadas, a CPM legislator representing the Kongad assembly constituency in Kerala's Palakkad district, breathed his last at the Thrissur Medical College Hospital, where he was admitted since December 11.
The 61-year-old had undergone a surgery a few days ago to remove a blood clot in the brain. The condition of the two-time MLA worsened as he was facing post-Covid complications. Unfortunately, he faced a few health troubles that are often reported while recovering from the infection.
Vijayadas, who was born on May 25, 1959, as the son of K Velayudhan and A Thatha, began his political career as a KSYF (Kerala Socialist Youth Federation ) activist in 1957.
Vijayadas was a CPM district committee member and was the first president of Palakkad District Panchayat. He had won back-to-back elections from Kongad in the 2011 and 2016 state polls.
He is survived by wife V Premkumari and two children.
