Pulloli Thomas Chacko (9 April 1915 – 31 July 1964) was an Indian politician from Chamampathal, Kottayam in central Kerala.[1][2] A member of the Travancore and Travancore-Cochin Assemblies and the Constituent Assembly, Chacko served as the first Leader of Opposition of the newly formed state of Kerala (Namboodiripad ministry). He was also the Home Minister of Kerala holding the additional portfolios of Revenue and Law during the period 1960–64 (Pillai and Sankar ministries).[2] Resignation of Chacko from Congress-led cabinet in 1964 resulted in the formation of the regional party Kerala Congress.[3]
