and funny moments in Kerala assembly when he was the member of

Karunakaran named 'Leader'.

that nowdays only the number of walkouts were increasing. The
legislators take no interest in studying the issues, he
said.
'I am still want to be active in politics', Karunakaran
added. 'Time is coming to be active', he said without
mentioning the coming local body and assembly polls in the
state.
