CPI(M) Polit Bureau member Kodiyeri Balakrishnan has returned to helm the party in Kerala.
After remaining on ‘medical leave’ for a year, he returned to function as State secretary on Friday. Mr. Balakrishnan had proceeded on leave in November last year citing health reasons after nominating A. Vijayaraghavan, State secretariat member, to officiate as party State secretary in his absence.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
