Kodiyeri Balakrishnan's wife Vinodini alleges neglect by senior CPI(M) leadership in Kerala

Vinodini Balakrishnan, wife of late Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, said the CPI(M) leadership "ruthlessly ignored" her family after his death. She alleged a Politburo member did not answer her calls for four years. She contrasted this with Pinarayi Vijayan, who she said would answer or call back.
