He also mourned the loss of P.S. Ravindran, director of the renowned Vajiram and Ravi IAS Academy in New Delhi.

“From his early days as a student leader to his service in Parliament and later as CPI’s national leader, Thiru. Sudhakar Reddy devoted his life to the struggles of the oppressed. His life was an unwavering testament to social justice,” CM Stalin said in a social media post.

The Chief Minister recalled his personal interactions with the veteran Communist leader, noting that he had witnessed Reddy’s warmth, clarity of thought, and commitment to ideology during several visits to Tamil Nadu.

CM Stalin pointed out that Reddy had played a role in alliance discussions and had also attended the memorial event of former Chief Minister and DMK patriarch M. Karunanidhi, popularly known as Kalaignar.

His passing is not only a personal loss to his students but also a setback for the academic community and the nation at large,” CM Stalin said.
