| He fought the disease for two and a half years

“You can’t give up like that,” said Kodiyeri, who met the media for the first time after his illness two and a half years ago. Kodiyeri later became active in the field of action by expressing his belief that he would survive cancer. The first treatment was at the Henderson Cancer Center in Houston, USA. On return, continued treatment at home and abroad.

“I don’t want to remember the disease. Kodiyeri has often said that he is to forget about party activities and forget about it. Kodiyeri Balakrishnan’s hallmark is lighthearted interaction and a strict attitude. He always tried to follow that approach. He followed that practice even during his illness. Kodiyeri will face any crisis with a smile. Ideology and practical politics will protect the party. It was only because of the charges brought against the family members that it swayed at least some of the time. In April 2022, after a gap of one and a half years, Kodiyeri Balakrishnan again went to America for further cancer treatment. Kodiyeri did not hand over the responsibility of party secretary to anyone else as he did not stay away for a long time. The party center fulfilled the duties of the secretary.

Even when Kodiyeri initially took leave for treatment, the party center performed secretary duties. Later, when the ED case was filed against Bineesh Kodiyeri, Kodiyeri took leave and A. Vijayaraghavan was handed over. The party said Kodiyeri had taken leave for treatment that day.
