Describing Raghavan as a brave politician, Chandy said he played a very important role in strengthening UDF and also stood firm in his stand even in times of adverse political situations.
As a far sighted leader, Raghavan gave a vision to co-operative sector in the state and Pariyaram Medical College, Kannur AKG Co-operative Medical College, Ayurveda College and Parasanikadvau Snake Park would remain as ever green memory of him.
CPI-M veteran and Leader of the Opposition V S Achuthanandan said Raghavan was an able organiser.
