Kerala state secretary of the Communist Party of India (CPI), Kanam Rajendran, passed away at the age of 73 at a private hospital in Kochi, said an official on Friday.
He had been undergoing diabetes treatment for three months. Reports said his leg was amputated after infection. He had taken a three-month leave from the party due to illness.
Kanam Rajendran has been the state secretary of the party since 2015.
