Paravur T. K. Narayana Pillai

Paravur T. K. Narayana Pillai

Paravur T.K Narayana Pillai born in North Paravur was the first chief minister of Travancore-Cochin at the time of its formation in 1949. His private secretary was the late Karikkakaom S. Narayana Pillai who died recently of Alzheimers disease. Paravur T.K as he was fondly called was an inspiring leader who helped the poor and the downtrodden. One of the main contentious issue during his tenure was the investigation into the burning of the famous Swami Ayyappa shrine at Sabarimala during offseason, and his denial to make the report public citing communal riots in the event doing so. This later cost him his Chief Ministership and led to his rapid decline in Kerala politics.
