21st April 2014 is the 12th death anniversary day of Com. T.K.Ramakrishnan, a senior leader of the CPI(M) and Minister in the LDF Government in Kerala. He was a trade union leader and also was very active in the socio-cultural front. He has authored some books including dramas.

He was very simple and associated closely with the people. He was elected seven times to the Kerala Legislative assembly which itself shows his popularity. He was Minister of Home, Fisheries, Excise, Cultural Affairs etc. in the Left Democratic Front Ministries.
Being at Thiruvananthapuram as Circle Secretary of the Telecom Union during 1977-81, I had the opportunity to meet him several times and seek his guidance on many issues. He was very helpful. He attended many of our conferences also.
On his death anniversary I pay my respectful homage to Com.T.K!
