Congress MLA and Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee working president PT Thomas passes away.

Thomas passed away at a private hospital in Vellore on Wednesday.


The 70-year-old politician was under treatment for cancer for a long time.

He is a former Member of Parliament who represented the Idukki Lok Sabha constituency in Kerala and was twice elected MLA – in 2016 from Idukki and later from Thoduppuzha.


Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took to Twitter to express his condolences and wrote:

"I’m saddened to know of the demise of Shri PT Thomas. Along with his various contributions to the Congress party and the state of Kerala, he will be remembered for being a vibrant, helpful person.

"My condolences to his family and friends."
