Former Union Minister KP Unnikrishnan, a six-time Lok Sabha MP from Vadakara, passed away at the age of 89 in a private hospital in Kozhikode. He was undergoing treatment for age-related ailments at the time of his death.
Unnikrishnan began his career as a journalist before entering politics. He was first elected to the Lok Sabha in 1971 as a Congress candidate and went on to represent Vadakara in 1977, 1980, 1984, 1989, and 1991. He held the portfolios of Surface Transport and Communications in the VP Singh Cabinet during 1989–90 and played a key role in the evacuation of Indians during the Gulf War.
A close associate of VK Krishna Menon and trusted confidant of Indira Gandhi at one time, Unnikrishnan was also active in Congress (U) and Congress (S) before returning to the Congress in 1995. Educated at Madras Christian College and holding a law degree from Chennai, he was involved with the Socialist Party and Praja Socialist Party in his early political career.
