Very sad news. He was a man of principles who lived a simple life. In today's era of politics, such leaders are rare. The medical team at Rajiv Gandhi Hospital tried their best for 24 days, must appreciate their efforts.

Om Shanti. While I may not have agreed with all his political ideologies, one cannot deny his commitment and integrity. He served what he believed was right for the people. A chapter of Tamil Nadu's political history closes.

Respectful criticism: His party's relevance has diminished over the years, but leaders like Nallakannu kept the ideological flag flying. The challenge now is for the left to connect with the new generation. Nevertheless, a sad day for his followers.
