THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s public persona has long been defined by ideological rigidity and administrative control. But those close to the 80-year-old leader say that the same precision and discipline visible in governance are equally evident in his personal habits.
His habits are now being discussed more after a seer fish controversy broke out, which was put on the table by veteran CPI leader and former State Minister C. Divakaran and is now a raging hit on social media.
At the dining table, CM Vijayan is described as an unhurried and methodical eater. He relishes his food slowly, preferring to serve himself rather than being assisted, even when multiple dishes are laid out before him.
