Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan led Left Democratic Front (LDF) has retained power in the state. This is for the first time in 44 years that an incumbent government was re-elected and everyone is appreciating the leadership of Pinarayi Vijayan despite the strong force of BJP.
But one person has created history in Kerala politics and polls. She is KK Shailaja who is popularly called as Shailaja Teacher. Shailaja is the health minister and she played a huge role in containing the Covid-19 virus first wave in the state. For her outstanding efforts in containing the virus in Kerala, UK-based Prospect magazine selected Shailaja as the `Top Thinker of the Year 2020′, beating New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
