Chandy, who served the Kerala Assembly over 12 terms, is credited with initiating several big ticket infrastructure projects in the state including the Kochi Metro.
As Oommen Chandy’s mortal remains were being brought from Bengaluru to his house in Thiruvananthapuram on July 16 afternoon, thousands stood waiting along the roadside, seeking a final glimpse of the Congress veteran.
Despite the scurrilous nature of allegations, former Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy who passed away recently, responded to the news report on him with consummate self-restraint.
Following the news of his demise, senior Congress leaders who are in Bengaluru for the opposition meet, including Rahul and Sonia Gandhi, will visit the hospital.
